Marco Giannoni: Complete Works For Solo Guitar (2006-2022) – Fabrizio Proietti

This Da Vinci Classics album comprises the whole oeuvre for solo guitar composed by Marco Giannoni over a period of more than 15 years (2006-2022). The long time-span of their composition implies a variety of styles and composition technique, bearing witness to the composer’s endless journey of exploration. Giannoni, whose instrumental background is as a classical guitarist, actually wrote relatively few works for his instrument; however, as he states, “I have often felt the need to return to my first love, the guitar, and write intimate, personal, or didactic pieces for it”. This album is interpreted by Fabrizio Proietti, about whom the composer states: “He has perfectly understood both sources of my inspiration: he grasped the nostalgic and profound nature of pieces like Un petit rien or Cadenza, the technical challenge hidden behind each of my 12 Studi per chitarra, the humour in the Suite-on-BACH, and the lightness of the Capriccio tonale”, all featured here.
