The Gazzana Duo, comprised of Italian sisters, immerses itself in the musical landscape of the 19th century with great devotion. Raffaela on piano and Natascia on violin sensitively interpret sonatas by Schumann (Op. 105) and Grieg (Op. 45). In addition to classical works, the Gazzanas also dedicate themselves to contemporary music, especially the compositions written for them by the Estonian composer Tõnu Kõrvits: the Stalker Suite and the Notturni. The Stalker Suite, a tribute to the film director Andrei Tarkovsky, allows the musicians to unfold nuanced sound structures within the historic ambiance of the Neumarkt Riding Stables. The recordings, conducted by Manfred Eicher, were made in November 2021.
