Flavio Cucchi in recital
A quintessential quintet of contemporary composers
The jazz legend Chick Corea and world-renowned Italian guitarist Flavio Cucchi have known each other since the late 1980s. This recording features Corea’s only work written expressly for the guitar, Six Ruminations, heard in a new version by Cucchi, as well as Cucchi’s arrangement for two guitars of the magical, haiku-like 12 Children’s Songs. The album continues with Alfonso Borghese’s charming Habanera d’Autunno,
the famous Egberto Gismonti piece, Agua e vinho,
Giulio Clementi’s evocation of bygone dance hall days and the folk-infused English Suite by John Duarte.
