I have wanted to record with Andrea Pozza for twenty years, so this was a great opportunity. Furthermore, we recorded "at home" in Certaldo Alto and consequently the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. I can't wait to hear my sound without effects - just the great natural acoustics of the Castle. [Scott Hamilton]
Few times in life do you feel like you are in the right place at the right time. It happened to me in the quarries of the Castle of Certaldo on the occasion of the recording of this CD. Recording a duo with Scott Hamilton, one of my all time favorite musicians, in an extraordinary place, with priceless microphones skilfully manipulated by Giulio Cesare Ricci, a real "guru" of hifi recording, enjoying the hospitality of Alfred Kramer ( and his snare drum and brushes in a couple of songs) and the extraordinary food at the Albergo Il Castello, do you think that's enough? [Andrea Pozza]
For once it is the place that determined the release and success of this recording work. The place is an ancient family-owned palace in the heart of Tuscany used as an accommodation business which in recent years has increasingly become a meeting point for musicians and artists. This also happened between Scott, Andrea, Giulio Cesare and me, on the occasion of a concert held by the two musicians in the music room of the historic residence. The magic of the music and the place enchanted even Julius Caesar and a few months later we returned to the scene of the crime (obviously I never left it). You are holding the result in your hands. “A vida é a arte do encontro” said Vinicius de Moraes, but it is certain that even art without encounter will never be able to survive. [Alfred Kramer]
