Colone, Angelo

95343

Federico Moreno-Torroba (1891-1982) was one of the leading musical figures of 20th century Spain. He was active as a composer, conductor, critic and successful impresario, and he was president of the “Societad general de autores españoles”. • Although Moreno-Torroba wrote in many musical genres he is mostly famous for his guitar works. His encounter and ultimate friendship with the great guitarist Andres Segovia inspired him to write a substantial oeuvre for the guitar, Spain’s national instrument. • Angelo Gilardino said of Moreno-Torroba’s works: “his music is largely inspired by the Spanish landscape, especially that of Castilia, he has created a bridge between landscape and soundscape”. • Performed with great warmth and feeling for the idiom by Angelo Colone, one of the leading Italian guitarists and student of the legendary Alirio Diaz.
