.. Pieces For Guitar / Works By Castelnuovo-tedesco

Description:

Between 1953 and 1967, the Italian composer Mario CastelnuovoTedesco wrote a series of Greeting Cards. These 52 musical folios, 21 of which were written for the guitar â?? an instrument that had inspired him since he first heard Segovia perform â?? are pen portraits of admired colleagues. Castelnuovo-Tedescoâ??s imagination and technical mastery are reinforced by the use of rhythms associated with the dedicateesâ?? nationality or through evocations inspired by their names. The cycle offers a surprising, generous and rewarding body of musical cryptology that belies its small-scale form. Acclaimed guitarist Andrea De Vitis has won over 40 prizes in various international competitions and has also received a special artistic medal from Senate of the Republic, Italy. - ..
