Opis: Castelnuovo - Tedesco: Complete Music For Two Guitars

Florentine composer Castelnuovo-Tedesco contributed a vast array of music to the guitar literature, and this engaging release celebrates his output for two guitars, drawing focus to what is perhaps the repertoires most awe-inspiring collection: the cycle of 24 preludes and fugues known as Les guitares bien tempérées. The unique nature of this work lies in the composers great ability to use raw materials, polishing them with an almost unparalleled skill to create small, perfect and autonomous scenes that draw on light and extremely effective use of counterpoint; appending them is the Fuga elegiaca, a work that functions as the perfect conclusion on account of its original key of G minor, the same key in which the series opens.

The Fuga was to be Castelnuovo-Tedescos parting gift to the world, and the Sonatina canonica that follows takes us back to his first composition for two guitars, one which the composer himself described as a modest little piece. Once again drawing on a hugely diverse range of material, its an engaging conclusion to a set for which the artists have paid especial attention to the original manuscripts, determined to achieve performances worthy of the great Italian maestro. This they certainly attain; Pace and Poli Cappelli, whose duo has in little over a year become one of the most sought-after of its kind, marry virtuosic display with sensitive, intelligent readings.

Other information:
- Recorded in Italy in 2013.
- This set, the complete works for two guitars by Castelnuovo-Tedesco contains one of the most ambitious, innovating and audacious cycles of the entire guitar literature: Les Guitares bien tempérées. These works, as already hinted by its title, are inspired by the great keyboard cycle Das Wolhtemperierte Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach, presenting Preludes and Fugues in all 24 keys (both major and minor). A tour de force of contrapuntal ingenuity, composed with great skill and a warm feeling heart.
- Also included are the Sonatina Canonica (also of great contrapuntal invention), and the touching Fuga Elegiaca, the composers last piece and bittersweet farewell.
- Superbly played by one of the worlds best guitar duos, the Poli Cappelli Duo, with a string of international prizes to their name.
- Booklet contains liner notes and artist biography.
