The Duo Granato is an eclectic chamber music group consisting of Cristian Battaglioli (saxophone) and Marco Rinaudo (piano). Together the two artists have been able to approach the chamber music repertoire for saxophone and piano with an accurate research on timbre and sound quality, finding a new balance between the two instruments. The musicians have been focusing on the blending of sounds that is possible between the very special harmonic range of both instruments. The repertoire of the ensemble consists of music from all over the world from composers like Desenclos, Creston, Muczynski, Hindemith, Yoshimatsu, Maslanka, Albright and many more that have written original works for saxophone and piano. Also transcriptions are often played for a concert experience that convince any audience. (© Granato Music)
