Gilardino: Homage to Naples

VirtuosoDuo;
Conservatorio "D. Cimarosa" Orchestra Avellino

96171

Angelo Gilardino is one of the most important guitar composers of the last half century. His unique style is a blend of the old and new, folk art and contemporary music, from Mozart to Messiaen, all his works are illuminated by a warm and Mediterranean glow, a feeling of humanity and love for life.

In this new recording the composer brings an homage to “Naples, its history and legends, its splendid culture, the art that has celebrated the city in every age, the music created by its learned masters and its popular singers. As a composer, I’ve never been attracted by pictorial music, I have, however, always felt that the impressions derived from the experience of places as well as literary works do leave profound imprints, both on the emotions as well as the intellect.”

The recording contains the Concerto del Sepeithos for two guitars and orchestra, Riviera di Chiaia for two guitars, and the Sonatina for Guitar titled Toledo.

Played by the VirtuosoDuo (Aniello Desiderio and Lucio Matarazzo) and the “D. Cimarosa” Conservatorio Orchestra Avellino.
