Simone Rubino - Video

Lamberto Cortini’s Il Ritmo della Terra (The Rhythm of the Earth) was commissioned by Borletti-Buitoni Trust for Simone Rubino. Live Music Now München produced a sumptuous film of the chamber work for small string ensemble and percussionists, headed by Curtoni on solo cello and percussionist Simone Rubino, who also sings. In this short documentary (in German), the contributors introduce the film that will be available to stream and download from 16 June, released by First Hand Records, which also releases an audio only version with extra tracks. Revel in the beauty of the images of the earth and Curtoni’s musical imagination.
