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. This recording presents works for 4 guitars: the 'Sinfonietta', containing musical portraits of Ferenc Farkas, Alexandre Tansman and Teresa de Rogatis, the 'Sonetti Giuliani', inspired by the 'Studies' of Mauro Giuliani, and Gilardino's transcription for 4 guitars of the cycle 'Andalucia' by Ernesto Lecuona, featuring atmospheric evocations of the Alhambra, Cordoba and others. Excellent performances by the Quartetto Santórsola, consisting of 4 young Italian guitar virtuosos.
