Three instruments, three musical personalities, and a repertoire that spans eras and languages with refined naturalness: Gregorio Tuninetti on flute, Massimiliano Salmi on oboe, and Beatrice Guarducci on cello, an ensemble whose distinctive trait lies precisely in its freedom to approach distant styles and repertoires without ever losing expressive coherence.

The programme moves from Joseph Haydn to Alberto Ginastera with the elegance of those who regard music as a continuous territory, traversable without boundaries. Haydn’s Divertimenti, placed at the beginning and end of the programme, restore all the lightness and vitality of music conceived for the pleasure of making music together and shared listening. More intimate and dialogically refined is Johann Sebastian Bach’s Duet for oboe and cello, a rare page in Bach’s catalogue in which the two voices weave a contrapuntal texture of extraordinary finesse and balance. With Arthur Honegger we enter the twentieth century: the Prélude from Trois Contrepoints transforms contrapuntal writing into a living, mobile, and intensely expressive texture. Closing the programme is Ginastera’s Duo for flute and oboe, infused with the rhythmic and nervous energy of Argentine tradition: syncopated, vibrant, and compelling music, capable of evoking the vast and restless breath of the pampas.
