BIOGRAPHY

The artistic partnership of the DUO Tinelli-Mazzoccante has been agreed by the international critics as follows:

"In a word, superbly. First, I love the sound of Tinelli's clarinet. It's bright and transparent, and Tinelli articulates with the kind of sharp focus." - Jerry Dubins - Fanfare Magazine, USA; "..I am very impressed by the sound beauty, the dynamics quality, the tone colour play, the musical expressiveness and fantasy." Karl Leister -- historical first clarinet of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Herbert von Karajan; "..sound nobility, phrasing sound clearness and expressive naturalness." Angelo Foletto - Suonare News; "A scintillating Duo: great bravura, perfect harmony and extreme versatility" M. Del Vaglio -- Neaples; "..sound purity, colours variety and intense musical phrasing." Primo Borali -- already first clarinet of RAI and and Scala in Milan; "..the interpretation is deep, touching in the intimist intensity and powerful in the structure. Great!" Sergio Calligaris -- Italian-Argentine pianist and composer; "..masterfully interpretation" The Clarinet -- USA; "..admirable coherence, a whole warm, rich and very charming sound." Giovanni Tasso - Il Giornale della Musica

The two artists, who were given several prizes in the most important national and international competitions (International Chamber Music Competition Trapani 1999, International Chamber Music Competition Caltanissetta 1999, Tbilisi International Piano Competition 2009), took part in concert activities as soloists (KIEV RTV Orchestra, Philharmonic Orchestra "George Enescu", Orchestra Internazionale d'Italia, Orchestra Milano Classica, State Philharmonic Orchestra of Romania, Philharmonia of Vilnius, Kaunas Philarmonic Orchestra, Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, and so on.) and in chamber formations that took place in Italy, Hungary, Germany, Albania, France, Romania, Spain, Arab Emirates, Czech Republic, Turkey, China, Lithuania, Georgia and Croatia.

They have recorded a monograph dedicated to Johannes Brahms, including two Sonatas op.120 no.1 and no.2 and the Trio op.114 with the violoncellist Giorgio Casati, released by Phoenix Classics which received favourable reviews by specialist critics (Suonare News, Music Journal, The Clarinet, Fanfare Magazine), was broadcast by National Radio (Radio RAI3, Radio Vaticana, Radio Muza Georgia) and defined by the historical first clarinet of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Berlin Karl Leister as "magnificent interpretation". The disc itself, at the Casa del Cinema in Rome, has been conferred the finalist Prize IMAIE and "five stars Prix" from MusicMagazine. Extraordinary confirmation of the critics has also been achieved by the CD "..Rigor y Pasión.." published by DAD Records, in which the Duo proposes music recorded worldwide preview by the Italian-Argentine composer Sergio Calligaris: "..immediate eloquence and gripping over the audience certainly." (L. Segalla - Musica).

Since 2008 they have started an exceptional concert collaboration with the legendary German clarinettist Karl Leister by giving their first performance at the Chamber Music Festival in Chieti. In 2010 the DUO have recorded for Camerata Tokyo a CD in trio with Karl Leister.
