Product Notes

Towards the end of the eighteenth century the guitar had assumed the characteristics which we know today. The five double strings of the baroque guitar had been replaced by the six single tailpieces. The innovation, attributed to the Neapolitan master violin-maker Giovanni Battista Fabbicatore, had enriched the technical and expressive skills of the popular instrument. The six-string guitar caught the attention of a new generation of composers, especially Spanish and Italian guitarists. Among these, Mauro Giuliani excelled for exceptional virtuosity and extensive compositional interests. The guitar and violin duo is undoubtedly one of the most important chamber ensembles: the guitar literature has in fact often intersected with the violinist one allowing both instruments to explore their own tonal, technical and harmonic potentialities and allowing them to become increasingly widespread not only among professionals but also among amateurs from all over the world. Important pages were dedicated to this exercise by composers such as Ferdinando Carulli, Mauro Giuliani and Nicolo Paganini, to which this album sides with.
