Product Description
The Neapolitan composer Mauro Guliani was the greatest guitar virtuoso of his generation and one of the finest composers for the instrument. His music was neatly described by his biographer as 'Viennese classicism... nourished by Italian lyricism'. Heroic in length rather than substance, Guliani's one-movement Sonata Eroica is one of only three sonatas he composed. The three Potpourris include operatic arias, folk songs, street songs and Viennese Landler, all ingeniously linked together in an attractive tapestry of melody and harmony. Some of the tunes are immediately identifiable; they include Mozart's Non piu andrai from The Marriage of Figaro as well as many of Rossini's melodies.
Customer Reviews
This is a recording of several large scale works, some seldom heard like the Potpourris and Fughetta, some well known like the Gran sonata Eroica and the Variations. The Gran Sonata Eroica is played magnificently. Marco Tamayo's unlimited reserve of technique contributes not only the requisite interpretive virtuosity to the piece but also manages to convey the grand and heroic characteristic of this sonata. The Potpourris are wonderful pieces, and similar to the Rossinianas in that they are comprised of many, many beautiful themes no doubt popular in their time. The themes are strung together and developed with Giuliani's ornate and flourished style allowing Tamayo to display his command and intimate knowledge of Giuliani's guitar works. Listening to this recording is truly enjoyable: the music is charming, virtuosic, and played by a truly brilliant virtuoso whose technique is dazzling, powerful, and profound.
