Meaningful Pop – Better Call Duo

Meaningful Pop is a collection of original works for two guitars that represents the 20th century repertoire where the popular sources merge into classical musical language. In a period of great evolution of thought, creativity, originally linked to canons of perfection and beauty is now built on the personality and sensitivity of the Artist in an expressive divergence that is unprecedented. A new stylistic mélange emerged, made up of distant or closer references and citations, but which to some extent is always familiar to the listener. The research and emotional proposal of Meaningful Pop is based on this fertile ground. This album features works by Roland Dyens (Comme des grands), Pierre Petit (Toccata), Shingo Fujii (Rhapsody Japan), Mario Gangi (Suite italiana), and John William Duarte (Six Friendships), many of which constitute a fertile counterpoint between the countries of the two performing musicians, Chieko Hata (Japan) and Stefano Palamidessi (Italy).
