This is the recording debut of Italian sisters Natascia and Raffaella Gazzana, named for the “Five Pieces” for violin and piano by Valentin Silvestrov which conclude the album. These works – a gently-pulsing elegy, a serenade, an intermezzo, a barcarole, a ghostly nocturne - receive their international release here in a context which combines the familiar and the far-flung, as Duo Gazzana finds creative affinities between the music of four very different composers. “The programme as a whole is typical of the duo’s inquiring and sensitive approach to repertory”, writes Paul Griffiths in the liner notes. “What we hear here is a vital freshness”.

A beautiful and interesting recital of rarely done works. As they are sisters, they seem to have a telepathy too: playing seamlessly, yet also making each instrument very distinctive. So a real improvisational sense, even if they play composed works. The pieces chosen also show a nice balance between adventurous/'modern' and lyrical/'classical.'
