Roberto Bartoli, Giacomo Rotatori - Fisa Bass Duo Amischa

Review by Bente Nybo

The album Fisa Bass Duo Amischa by Roberto Bartoli and Giacomo Rotatori is a mesmerizing collection of music that showcases the unique blend of accordion and double bass. The duo's effortless interplay and technical prowess are evident throughout the album, as they seamlessly weave together intricate melodies and rhythms.

The album's opening track, "Amischa," sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its haunting accordion lines and driving bass groove. The duo's ability to create a rich, full-bodied sound with just two instruments is impressive, and they explore a range of moods and textures over the course of the album.

Tracks like "Gatto Nero" and "La Cornacchia" showcase the duo's virtuosity, as they navigate complex rhythms and intricate melodies with ease. However, the album also has its more contemplative moments, such as the beautiful ballad "Ninna Nanna" and the introspective "Il Cielo Sopra di Noi."
