This diverse programme of works for guitar trio is bound by the common thread of music inspired by stories from literature, stage or screen. With its rhythmic exuberance and tragic beauty, Bernstein’s West Side Story has never lost its freshness and relevance. Ensemble member Luca Isolani’s Note fuori campo is a homage to the versatile Italian composer Nino Rota, who, like Manos Hadjidakis, first shot to international fame with an Oscar-winning film score. Ravel’s Ma Mère l’Oye evokes the poetry of childhood with a refined expressiveness that makes it as popular and unforgettable as Grieg’s music for Peer Gynt.
