The Namesake

The 20th century chamber music literature is certainly noteworthy for the originality and extravagance of certain ensembles, but perhaps none is more heretical and unconventional than Kubin (named after the famous Austrian expressionist writer and illustrator). At first glance, the combination of electric guitar and piano may seem completely unbalanced: on the one hand, we have the variety of timbrical possibilities of the electric instrument and its almost infinite ways of modifying the sound through pedals and effects, on the other there is the voice of a traditional instrument which, compared to its counterpart, paradoxically lacks a certain timbre monotony. However, the duo formed by the guitarist Francesco Zago (1972) and the pianist Elena Talarico (1993) succeeds in bringing into play such a wealth of colors to easily deny the aforementioned considerations.
