This original and versatile chamber music formation has been profuse in a work of research and analysis to produce interesting musical arrangements that have given life to “Thunderbach” the CD released in July 2021 and published by Smilax Publishing. In fact, in the most common languages ​​of the world, "SUONARE" and "GIOCARE" are written in the same way: in English "player", in French "jouer", in German "spiel". so to "play" with music in all its aspects, genres and parameters. Maestro Antonio Aiello was able to masterfully interpret the intent of this ensemble by reworking an original repertoire ranging from Vivaldi to the Spanish composer Adriàn Berenguer with "Day Pass" which was played for the first time in the version for sextet at the XL International Review of Classical Music "CORSANICO FESTIVAL". The original program proposed by the sextet also draws on the repertoire of soundtracks and therefore tributes to Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota cannot be missing, of whom 110 years have passed since their birth in 2021.
