Marco Fumo has always aimed to embrace good music of any genre without distinction, interested more in its innate qualities than in categorisation. In this refreshing and original recital, Fumo interprets a kaleidoscopic spectrum of pieces, tracing their intricate, sometimes subtle interconnections through the lens of Afro-American cultural history. We hear works by Scarlatti and Stravinsky, Debussy and Copland, Scott Joplin and Fats Waller, accompanied by thoughtful booklet notes explaining the musical backgrounds to, and links between, these pieces.
