Rocca-Benigni Duo - Upset

The passionate, virtuosic performance by Paolo Rocca (clarinets) and Fiore Benigni (melodeon) combines harmonic and rhythmic complexity with diverse musical idioms.

The duo draw on Klezmer, Gypsy, Brazilian and Romanian music and even modern tango-jazz, but always with constant reference to Italian folk tradition. It ranges from Bach to a tarantella as the duo reveals how the same sound unites such apparently disparate music; such is the creative magic of this extraordinary pair of musicians.
