On this of Alessandro Scarlatti's opera omnia for keyboard, once again the star is the eighteenth century Italian Anonymous Ferrarese harpsichord owned by Francesco Tasini. Extremely interesting is the interpretation by Francesco Tasini - a master of the period performance practice - that succeeds in giving us a perfect understanding of the correct approach to the compositions by Alessandro Scarlatti, true founder of the Neapolitan keyboard School.

Broadcast weekly to over 41 million listeners in 84 different countries from the custom-built radio studio in Amsterdam, Armin van Buuren’s A State Of Trance radio show is the epicenter of Trance music. The show won the title of ‘Best Mix Radio Show’ at the International Dance Music Awards in Miami for an unprecedented seven times and continues to provide Trance fans with the hottest new tunes, a Future Favorite, Tune Of The Week, Progressive Pick and Service For Dreamers classic every single week. Add to that the success of the global A State Of Trance events, the show’s growing popularity and its loyal fanbase and you know A State Of Trance is where the magic happens.

It’s almost impossible to put into words just how amazing the year of 2018 has been for A State Of Trance and Trance music as a whole. Between introducing the video broadcast of A State Of Trance to the radio studio set-up and hosting several phenomenal ASOT events in places such as Utrecht in the Netherlands, Melbourne in Australia, Gliwice in Poland and more, we got to introduce loads of new, exciting Trance tunes to the fans and listeners every single week, which got us so many inspiring and unforgettable moments. And now, we launched the one thing able to capture all of those moments in one two-disc album: ‘A State Of Trance Year Mix 2018 (Mixed by Armin van Buuren)’.

2019, a year to never forget. Those words hold a certain truth for Armin van Buuren as well as Trance fans from all over the world. With a smashing eight-hour broadcast of A State Of Trance during Amsterdam Dance Event, a sold-out event at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht to celebrate the 900th episode with over 35.000 people and the release of two albums from Armin van Buuren himself GAIAs Moons Of Jupiter and Balance, the year of 2019 managed to exceed all expectations. As always, the A State Of Trance Year Mix reflects the evolution of the scene and all of the exciting moments it has brought to fans worldwide. And judging by the sheer magnitude of this mix album’s tracklist, Trance music is bigger and better than ever before. And its bound to become even better with the long-awaited, highly anticipated A State Of Trance Year Mix 2019.

One day, you wake up with a cloud in your head. You feel out of place and uninspired, and juggle so many worries the balance is skewed. That was Armin van Buuren three years ago. He put so much love and passion into his work and found it hard to cope with the fact that not everyone can be pleased. Something needed to change. So he reformed his life routines, took up meditation to calm the storm and did everything he could to negate the numbness. And what he ended up with was a newfound love for music and an incredible three-part album: ‘Feel Again’.
