beautiful! Great pleasure to listen to, great rendition of this lovely piece of Giuliani. Accustic sound absolutely perfect! Bravo to all of you, and especially to the guitar soloist! Thank you.
Prior to this marvelous concerto for guitar no one had written a classical guitar concerto for the instrument. The Vivaldi D major was written for lute. Mauro Giuliani may not be a household name but his compositions for guitar are second to none and are a large part of the repertoire for this glorious instrument. Nathaniel Hill and company play this great work with warmth, verve and superb musicianship.
Ferdinando Carulli, who was born 11 years earlier than Mauro Giuliani, might have written classical guitar concertos a little earlier than Mauro Giuliani. Delightful concertos but not played as much as Giuliani's concertos.
@@reynaldo121I’ve played his A major concerto, it’s actually a very good starter if you don’t want to do Vivaldi and a great prep for Giuliani, however Giuliani is much much harder
Lovely guitar sounds and the backing instrumentalists also did a fine job. One doesn't hear Guiliani very often these days, which is a pity as his compositions are so fine. The recording was very well done: clear and open with a good ration of the fullness that makes for a much better sound than the overly lean examples that are too often heard, so my congrats to the recording engineer too.
I am wondering about the make and year of the guitar because ive been struggling for a number of years now to find a good one thya works for me, please and thank you, and Bravo !
Thank you for the kind words! I just used the IMSLP score, should have a strings version. Careful because if you take the cut in mvt 1 like me, it isn’t in the string part. You’ll have to count and figure it out. I remember it’s a hassle
Looking back I’d probably do what Giuliani wrote, or maybe closer to, but I found improvising on the spot to be more enjoyable especially since this was the last thing on the recital.
