**This hugely enjoyable and highly inventive album is dedicated to the late Umberto
Eco, a lifelong friend of accordionist Gianni Coscia and an ardent champion of this
particular duo. **

Eco’s The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loanna, a meditation on the nature of memory,
inspires Trovesi and Coscia on their own nostalgic and exploratory journey, referencing
music mentioned in the novel and free-associating upon its philosophical themes.
As ever, the Italians cast a wide net, playing songs associated with Louis Armstrong,
Glenn Miller and George Formby, paraphrasing Janáček, dipping into movie music, 
and improvising most creatively while keeping their dedicatee in view. Repertoire
revisits “Interludio”, a piece that Umberto Eco and Gianni Coscia collaborated on
70 years ago, and Gianluigi Trovesi crafts a new composition on the letters of Eco’s
name. From multiple perspectives, a brilliant tribute.

There is nothing more seductive than artfulness, when it has the humility to disguise
itself as artlessness. And especially when it generates, at every new quotation 
or invention, a feast of timbre capable of getting the maximum possible out of the
instruments, in a natural way … This then is one way to add a popular dimension 
to cultivated music and a cultivated dimension to popular music. So there’s no need
to wonder about in which temple we should place the music of Coscia and Trovesi.
On a street corner or in a concert hall, they would feel at home just the same.
