Recording notes

Marginal notes and a brief listening guide by M. A. Lincetto
The recording was made during the afternoon of September 11, 1997, at the "Masiero e Centanin" Music Foundation, in Arquà Petrarca, province of Padua. Franco played a Steinway&Sons D274 Grandpiano, while Saverio played a vibraphone and a marimba, kindly made available by Maestro Massimo Pastore.
This recording is the chronicle of a meeting of talents that has lasted for 4 years now: every note documented by the three hours of recording can be considered a precious gem. Nothing disturbed the artists' interplay, and nothing is to be discarded: the selection of tracks to be included in this CD was extremely difficult due to the abundance of quality.
Once again, the humble technician simply set up two omnidirectional microphones and waited for the event to unfold, allowing the wood and stone of the hall to blend the sounds into a perfect, warm, soft, and enveloping unique whole.
