MERCURIO / MELANI

The Duo was born in Parma in 2017 and faces the solo repertoire for double bass from 1800 to the present day. It prefers songs that allow dialogue between the two lesser known instruments and works by European authors, such as Serventi and Desenclos. Various transcriptions expand the repertoire, touching music such as those of Stravinsky and Fauré.

The Duo offers various concert programs: “Largo et Scherzando”, from the title of the original Serventi’s work for double bass and piano. The program plays on the duality of slow and fast movements, Adagio and Scherzando, and the choice of the other proposed works has the same characteristic.

On the occasion of the bicentenary of the birth of Giovanni Bottesini, the famous double bass player and composer of Crema, the Duo will present in 2021 a program dedicated to him, with some of the most important titles in the program, such as the “Grande Allegro alla Mendelssohn”, the “Capriccio di Bravura “and various Opera Fantasies, full of virtuosity.

Recordings with an internationally renowned record label are expected soon, their first CD will be released soon.
