Music Train Quintet was founded on a quiet August night by a group of friends, five ltalian musicians with a strong desire of making music together, trying to put out their feelings and create new originai musical stories. Following up their first recording experience, when they issued a really remarkable and much appreciated CD, the group are now trying to set out on a new, intriguing, and amazing musical journey. An originaJ and colourful interpretation of I. Stravinskij’s “The Firebird”, transformed into a total-music symphony, beyond every language barriers. All arrangements clearly show the different artistic origins of the five excellent musicians, mingled in one perfect team work.
Massimo Moriconi: Mythical bass player, who has gone through all modem music styles.
Danilo Rossi: First viola at “La Scala di Milano”. For over twenty years at the top of his career. Mr. Rossi plays on his 17th century instrument by Maggini.
Stefano Nanni: Composer, arranger and talented pianist. One of the most well-known and requested performers on the Italian scene.
Luciano Zadro: Extraordinary guitarist with the ability of drawing incredible, heavenly sounds out of his semi-acoustic guitar.
Gianluca Nanni: A drummer who perfectly knows all the secrets related to his instrument, which he can play with strength and sweetness.
To complete this CD are three pieces, all written by the musicians of the group, which reveal their passions and their personal artistic experience. Then the Music Train Quintet want to pay a tribute to beautiful Portugal, the country that has witnessed the work in progress of this recording, with two pieces – “O claro ceu de Coirnbra” and “So a tì” a remake of “Dreaming Bertinoro”. This is to seal the important meeting between the Quintet and tenor Giovanni D’Amore, of Sicilian origin, but Portuguese in adoption, whose warm, gentle voice is worldwide appreciated. Another citizen of the world getting on this music crain! Well, then ….. everybody on the carriage … .we are leaving!
