I Musici Gemelli
The members of the duo are Francesco Pio Bertozzi and Giuseppe Pio Bertozzi, both born on September 1, 2000. Francesco and Giuseppe graduated with top marks in violin at the Umberto Giordano Conservatory in Foggia and then they completed a second masters degree in Chamber Music at the Conservatory of Parma under the guidance of Lena Yokoyama.
They held masterclasses and advanced courses in duo formation with Andrés Diaz, Laura Marzadori, Kathrin Ten Hagen, Mirjam Tschopp and the world famous "Mirò String Quartet". The duo has been awarded prizes in national and international competitions such as Euterpe International Music Competition (BA), U.K. International Music Competition (UK), Beethoven International Music Competition and the Messina National Chamber Music Competition (held in Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto). Both have performed in theatres such as Maggio Musicale Fiorentino (Florence), Teatro Greco (Ischia, Walton foundation), Teatro Verdi (Brindisi), Teatro Apollo (Lecce), Palazzo Reale (Napoli) and others. They have participated in national and international festivals namely Julich Music Festival (Germany), Festival Ritratti, Urti Canti, etc.
Their first album won 2 Global Music Awards (Best Emerging Artist - Best duo) and 3 Nominations at the World Entertainment Awards in Los Angeles (Best Classical Album - Best Duo - Best Classical Artist).

This album is a chronological journey from the Baroque to the 20th century, recounting the evolution of writing for two violins and highlighting the stylistic, expressive, and technical transformations that have characterized three centuries of music.
The Baroque favours an elegant, virtuoso style, with composers such as Jean-Marie Leclair and Francesco Geminiani creating a dialogue between the two instruments characterised by balance and delicate ornamentation. In Classicism, Ignace Pleyel and Giovanni Battista Viotti developed a more symmetrical and melodic style of writing, with a clear interplay between the violins that reflected the harmony and lightness of the era. In Romanticism, Charles Auguste de Bériot brings greater emotional intensity, introducing virtuosity and melodic freedom, with deeper expression. Finally, in the 20th century, Béla Bartók experimented with complex rhythms, dissonances and innovative sonorities, enriching the dialogue between the violins with unique timbre research and an integration of Hungarian folk music. Each composer enriched the writing for two violins, adding new stylistic and technical dimensions to the musical dialogue.
