  • Description

    Considered the founder of nineteenth-century technique and didactical teaching of the guitar, the Neapolitan Ferdinando Carullihis left us an endless number of compositions, and represents an essential reference for the study of the guitar. This CD, performed by Sandro Volta and Mauro Bonelli, focuses on one of the least considered aspects, yet very important for the formation of a musician: the music for two guitars - real 'lessons' - for which the compositions for two performers are particularly important. The interpretation of these works by Ferdinando Carulli was developed on the basis of the use of two period guitars with catgut strings from the collection of Lorenzo Frignani, in Modena. The result is aesthetically quite different from that obtained with modern instruments: its distinctive qualities are a more audible 'noise' when the fingers pluck the strings or run over them, a more marked difference in the timbres of the various ranges, and also a particular lightness of sound.
