Repertoire

The Duo :nota bene: is distinguished from other chamber ensembles primarily by its programmes and its interest in and commitment to modern and contemporary music. Detailed study of 20th-century music and personal contact with many noted composers of our time has also a stimulating influence on the interpretation of works by the great old masters. This is impressively borne out by the Duo's CDs and by many press reviews.

The two musicians' years of collaboration have contributed to the development of a sound and style of chamber-music playing often lacking in the duo formation. Prolonged periods of work with the world-famous Trio di Trieste have also had a lasting influence. At the start of the 21st century, the Duo :nota bene: seeks to break down antiquated structures, to awaken interest in new ideas and, through its social commitment, to keep alive the love of all styles and periods of good music.
