New release: MIO CARO BOTTESINI (album preview)
On 19 September 2021 | 0 Comments
NBB039 – MIO CARO BOTTESINI,  Alberto Bocini  and Alessandra Ammara – available from September 26th 

Alessandra Ammara and Alberto Bocini live within a minute’s walk from each other but they never had opportunities for collaboration. These, finally, arose precisely as a result of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic of 2020 when the artists decided to start a “duo at km 0”. From this collaboration was born their first album, which on the bicentenary of Bottesini’s birth could only be dedicated to him.

 

Alberto Bocini e Alessandra Ammara will present the album “Mio Caro Bottesini” during Cremona Musica Festival, on 26th September next. See the event here.
