CORPO NOSTRO
Dario Buccino

CORPO NOSTRO is a complete experience! Dario Buccino delivers to the world a creation that is so exciting, so innovative and so well resolved that it seems he has been doing this for years.
The truth is he has been doing this for years and in his native Italy he is already an underground phenomenon. For more than a decade, Buccino has left his mark on all those who have experienced his music and his performance.
As the DVD shows, he is an artist who can mingle with the people or discuss with the academics and at all times communicate his unique vision.
True to his roots, he is an artist with passion. Buccino is wonderfully
animated and is capable of getting across dense ideas with a Mediterranean
flair. He is genuinely excited about what he does, and excited about
getting you excited about what he does.
The DVD starts with a festival performance. The documentary and interviews
are interspersed with a remarkable display of steel sheet busking. It
takes him out of the academic and classical performance realm and shows
you that reduced to a swing-set and a throw rug, he can still communicate
his ideas and passion to people, of all ages, in the street. Buccino is
very personable, very human and very entertaining.
The DVD ends with a very different performance; like a pagan ritual in the
catacombs. Gorgeous, voluptuous, Roman women play Buccino’s compositions
with a similar passion and sensuality. This is not some simplistic
testosterone fueled banging on sheet metal.
When you have seen the DVD you are ready to look further into the World of
Dario Buccino. The HN CD captures the listening experience to perfection.
The DVD/CD pack forms a carefully curated mini-program, with all your
questions answered. It is a perfect taster for a new audience and a tiny
treasury for fans. Between the video performance segments and the running
times of the CD tracks, there's a Buccino experience for every mood, from
symphony to pop song length grabs.
CORPO NOSTRO is a breath of fresh air.
