Orvieto (album)

Orvieto is a live album by pianists Chick Corea and Stefano Bollani recorded in Italy in 2010 and released on the ECM label.

[1] The AllMusic review by William Ruhlmann states "the veteran of Hispanic heritage and the younger Italian mix their Southern European flavors on one of the building blocks of American jazz, making for a heady musical concoction that confirms the talents of both".

[2] The Guardian's John Fordham noted "Pianists Chick Corea and Stefano Bollani can both play a lot of notes fast and have occasional tendencies to grandstand.

But if they're all over each other in the early stages of this Italian concert, later we hear the mutual understanding and assured rhythmic their time together since 2009 has nurtured".

[3] All About Jazz correspondent John Kelman observed "Unlike most duo recordings, Bollani and Corea are not split into left and right channels; instead, the two instruments converge towards the center of the mix from lower register to upper, giving Orvieto an even greater "you are there" feeling—but "there" isn't in the audience, it's right up there with the pianists.
