The meeting of Quartetto Guadagnini and Faccini Piano Duo grew from a wish to work with a broader palette: the sustained line of the strings meets the orchestral range of two pianists at one instrument.
In Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances, distant melodies return in a new light; in Roman Festivals, Rome becomes movement, crowds and collective ritual. With de Falla’s El amor brujo, the music moves to Andalusia, through dance, mystery and repetitions that resemble spells.
Three scores are connected by one question: how can music bring a time, a place or a legend back into the present act of listening?
