Cristiano Porqueddu: The Impressionistic Guitar

One of the key artists of the Brilliant Classics catalogue Cristiano Porqueddu has recorded a wealth of guitar repertoire, including authoritative recordings of music by Angelo Gilardino, Augustín Barrios and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. He has been praised for his imaginative and evocative playing, ‘Cristiano Porqueddu is a master guitarist,’ says the Cuban composer Leo Brouwer, ‘and one of the foremost representatives of the new generation of soloists. He brings sound to life, and then turns it into art.’ • This new recording presents Cristiano Porqueddu as a composer, in works for his own instrument, the guitar. The music is rich, innovative, highly attractive and superbly written for the instrument, evoking magical sounds and sonorities. Porqueddu finds inspiration in nature, the sounds and culture of the country and the light of the sky and the sea of his beloved Italian home country. • Played with great affinity and dedication by Riccardo D'Alo, a former student of Porqueddu, and Lorenzo Micheli Pucci, who made a specialization of the guitar music by Gilardino
