_____________________

This album stands out in a musical landscape often dominated by standardized repertoire by presenting an original program centered on the unusual pairing of violin and saxophone. The performers demonstrate strong commitment to discovering and promoting new repertoire through passionate and carefully crafted interpretations. The project features original works written for the duo, combining twentieth-century pieces by Adolf Busch and Pierre Max Dubois—honoring early advocates of this instrumental combination—with contemporary compositions created specifically for Scarpa-Pigato. The program explores a wide stylistic range, including post-tonal works, serial compositions, and evocative pieces, while the distinctive timbral blend of violin and saxophone produces a striking and innovative sonic experience.
