This is the riddle that I Musici tried to answer with the Serenata italiana (Italian serenade). Continue reading “I Musici – Serenata Italiana (2009) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Here we have four stubbornly independent artistic individuals, a creative quartet of highly-trained instrumentalists, two women, two men, each with their own moving and impressive backgrounds, four unmistakable voices, four uniquely individual perspectives on root work and euphony – and yet: sometimes true magic lies in just such an unlikely but inspired mixture.
