Cavatina Duo (Bosnian guitarist Denis Azabagić and Spanish flutist Eugenia Moliner) presents five new works that draw inspiration from Romani culture and musical traditions written for them by Clarice Assad, Sergio Assad, Matthew Dunne, Stacy Garrop, and Atanas Ourkouzounov. The duo aims to break down inherited negative cultural stereotypes of the Romani people. Azabagić and Moliner believe that the artificial boundaries dividing “us” and “them” can be dissolved through music as we discover our shared humanity.
In an hour and 20 minutes of music for flute and guitar, the Cavatina Duo manages to create a remarkable variety of expression. It doesn’t hurt that their coloristic palette is broadened by several guest artists along the way, but the music itself – all written expressly for Cavatina – is impressive in its stylistic scope, with each piece revealing its composer’s distinctive musical voice.
