Sacco, Piercarlo;
Dieci, Andrea

95735

Mauro Giuliani (1781 - 1828) was a contemporary of Schubert and one of the many Italian guitar virtuosos who had to flee his own country to get noticed. He ended up in Vienna frequently playing in the fashionable salons and contributing to the guitar becoming all the rage there. • As a composer he mainly wrote for his own use: around 200 pieces in all. • Many of his works are still popular today, and belong to the standard guitar repertoire. • This new recording presents works for violin and guitar, a combination much in vogue at the time. Included are a Duo Concertante, Serenade and Theme and Variations: music of great charm, lyrical, melodious and making full use of the possibilities and colours of both instruments. • Played with great sensitivity and virtuosity by violinist Piercarlo Sacco and guitarist Andrea Dieci, who already collaborated successfully for Brilliant Classics in works by Piazzolla.
