About

In a society where standardisation is a prevalent issue, the release of an album that deviates from the usual music centred around the established repertoire to present an original programme should be welcomed with enthusiasm. This same enthusiasm is evident in the two performers’ dedication to discovering new repertoires and delivering passionate, meticulous performances. This discographic project aims to interpret and promote original music written for violin and saxophone by both past and contemporary composers. Works from the 20th century (compositions by Adolf Busch and Pierre Max Dubois, included here as tributes to those who recognised the potential of the unusual violin and saxophone duo) are juxtaposed with compositions by contemporary authors specifically written for Scarpa-Pigato. The variety of styles unfolds through post-tonal compositions (Paolo Paglia and Luca Moscardi), serial works (Antonio Pessetto), and evocative pieces (Alberto Piazza). The unusual timbral combination of the violin and the diverse colours of the saxophone family creates an innovative and surprising sonic impact. The fervour that the performers bring to their interpretations is the elusive quality contemporary music has long sought. Dedication to meticulous work combined with interpretative excitement is a winning combination.
