Porqueddu, Cristiano

96407

This set is an homage to Angelo Gilardino, to mark the celebration of the composer’s 80-th birthday.

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.

Guitarist Cristiano Porqueddu plays as homage to the maestro the following works: Volo d’Angeli by Castelnuovo-Tedesco, a selection from Gilardino’s Transcendental Studies, Colloquio con Andres Segovia, and a selection of shorter pieces. As a personal tribute Porqueddu plays one of his own works, Metamorfosis de la Soledad.

An important tribute to one of the most respected and influential guitarist-composers of the 20th century!
