Recensiona del nuovo CD del Duo su Groveback

Il nuovo CD del Duo per La Bottega Discantica (BD 334), dedicato alla musica russa - con opere di Tchaikovsky (Suite da Il lago dei Cigni op. 20), Rachmaninov (Six Morceaux op. 11), Glinka (Valse-Fantasie) e Rimsky-Korsakov (Capriccio Espagnol) - è stato favorevolmente recensito da Andrea Bedetti sull'ultimo numero di GroveBack.
«Se l’intento della coppia Moneta & Rota era quella di restituire all’ascoltatore il senso ultimo dell’esprit della musica russa, che fosse destinata a questo genere cameristico o frutto di rielaborazioni e adattamenti, allora posso affermare che è perfettamente riuscita nel suo intento; nella loro lettura si cela una paletta interpretativa che è un mix ideale di emozioni e di rappresentazioni, le quali vanno da un senso generale di soffusa e tenera malinconia a una cristallinità del timbro (Il lago dei cigni) che sembra di entrare in un antro di cristalli di Boemia, da un senso ritmico esaltato da una rotondità timbrica a dir poco ammirevole (Valse-Fantasie) a un senso di teatralità racchiusa nella tastiera che si sprigiona magicamente nel Capriccio Espagnol. Per non dire dell’affiatamento che i due interpreti riescono a incarnare come se si trattasse di un corpo con due teste e quattro mani. Delizia allo stato puro. »
