UN BALLO CON LA LUNA FOR MIRABASSI/ZANCHINI DUO

/in /da

EGEA’s second album with the duo Mirabassi – Zanchini, a work that is in line with the previous Il gatto e la volpe , but which broadens the range of sounds, atmospheres and colours that this surprising and close-knit duo is able to construct.

Both are virtuosos of their instrument. Gabriele Mirabassi of the clarinet. Simone Zanchini of the accordion. Both boast a long and prestigious curriculum. having measured themselves with the language of Jazz, of course, but also the language of classical, contemporary, Italian popular music and other traditions.

In Un ballo con la luna you can clearly hear all of this. It ranges from songs where you can breathe in atmospheres of clear Italian popular origin, like Re bello, to songs of South American inspiration, like Besame mucho, Carioca, to songs where improvisation takes over the starting melodic theme. The common thread is dance music. A music that sometimes faithfully proposes rhythms and movements typical of the dance hall music of Fellini memories, while other times transfigures them into something else, imagined, dreamed, moody. The real glue of the dance music review proposed by Gabriele and Simone is the originality of their language, the way of treating the themes, the melodies, the harmonic structures, and the development of them. A way where great creativity, individual inventiveness is always at the service of the final result. Another fascinating work created by a truly great duo.

DEBUT CD FOR CHAOS STRING QUARTET

/in /da

Chaos String Quartet’s musicians announce their debut cd with German label Solo Musica featuring works by Haydn, Ligeti and Hensel!

Ligeti, known as one of the fathers of musical chaos, was a great admirer of Haydn. He studied the works of the master in detail to find inspiration and solutions for his own compositions. In Haydn’s Op. 20/5, the music progresses from a tragic F-minor opening to a liberating fugue, representing the transition from sickness to the triumph of life. In contrast, Ligeti’s “métamorphoses nocturnes” take listeners on a journey from the lowest note of the cello to the heavenly stars. Fanny Hensel’s jewellery box piece continues the metamorphosis throughout its four movements, starting from tonal ambiguity and culminating in a joyful E-Flat Major party in the final movement, providing long-awaited relief and release!
