Description:

On a deep and silent night, listen. The resonance of two people fascinated by the eternal beauty of Antonio Carlos Jobim's music. The melancholy bandoneon and sentimental piano melody gently envelop us in this chamber music of the night. The first album in three years by the duo of Italian bandoneon player Daniele di Bonaventura and pianist Giovanni Ceccarelli is a collection of works by Jobim, whom they both admire. The slow tempo of the performance, which leaves many gaps and pauses in between the notes, further accentuates the beauty of the details and the reverberations of Jobim's music, and invites the listener into the depths of the music. The duo chose many of the early works of Jobim and Vinicius de Morais, who sang about the sad feelings of love, and they dared to leave out well-known pieces, choosing the best pieces that were meaningful for the duo to perform, a repertoire that they say they were particular about. Guests include Jaquith Morelenbaum, Ivan Lins, and Camille Berteau.
