Solo non Solo, the debut Ravello release of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma’s bass clarinetist Sauro Berti, presents contemporary works for solo bass clarinet as well as for traditional and unusual duos, including with percussion, saxophone, narration and electronics. Reconciling Berti’s passions for classical and jazz music, pieces such as Blue Buk and Cosmic Turtles Sidekick are inspired by swing and improvisation while Due Pezzi Brasiliani uses two distinctive Brazilian rhythms, baiao and choro. Spasm, featuring electronic accompaniment, stretches the limits of his bass clarinet.
