Coha Mandić, Tamara & Grubišić Ćićković, Diana: I colori

Tamara Coha Mandić, flauta | flute

Diana Grubišić Ćiković, harfa | harp

 

 

In the world of musical attractions, flute and harp are probably one of the most popular pairings in the world, according to Diana, in spite of having very different performance capabilities – and therein lies the secret of their complementarity: the flute is movable, lively, virtuoso, sometimes gentle and sometimes aggressive, cantabile and lyrical in long phrases and endless breaths, while wittily bouncy and elusive in fast staccatos. The harp is harmonious in nature and the vibrations of its arpeggio accords or broken passages illustrate elusive contours, whereas the glissando brings gloss and glint as characteristic and recognizable signals, explains Diana.

And so, their pairing creates special and beautiful colors, just like those on the album I colori – playful colors of sounds in exuberant sounds of colors.
