Natascia's wistful bowing is intensely poetic while Raffaella's sparkling cascade of notes adds a touch of intrigue. Together they express with, lucid elegance, the continuum of sentiment within the music that ranges from quiet jubilation to placid ennui.

Label: ECM New Series. Duo Gazzana, who are the Italian sisters Natascia Gazzana (violin) and Raffaella Gazzana (piano), offers a selection of backward-looking works written between 1922 and 2009. The real surprise is the earliest, William Walton’s Toccata, a biting, hard-hitting take on a centuries-old style, quite out of keeping with the tenor of English music in the 1920s.

Violinist Natascia Gazzana and her sister, pianist Raffaella present their second album for ECM's New Series, uniting works from the 20th and 21st centuries with striking narrative character and retrospective glances at music history. Composers from France, Great Britain, Italy, Russia and Ukraine present earlier musical forms: toccata, suites, canons and variations, in the light of new developmental techniques, thereby revealing similarities and relations across centuries, geographical boundaries and contrasting forms of expression.
