Fabrizio Proietti - Marco Giannoni: Complete Work for Solo Guitar (2024)

This CD compiles all my works for solo guitar, masterfully interpreted by the excellent guitarist Fabrizio Proietti. They span a period of over 15 years, from 2006 to 2022, and consequently, they feature a certain variety of styles and composition techniques. I hope the listener will forgive this heterogeneity and interpret it as a testament to an endless journey of exploration.
Despite my background in classical guitar, the pieces I have written for this magnificent instrument are indeed few. Over the last twenty years, my creativity has been primarily dedicated to composing for other instruments, for various ensembles and orchestras, as well as soundtracks and music for dance and theater. I have nonetheless often felt the need to return to my first love, the guitar, and write intimate, personal or didactic pieces for it.
Fabrizio Proietti has perfectly understood both sources of my inspiration: he grasped the nostalgic and profound nature of pieces like Un petit rien or Cadenza, the technical challenge hidden behind each of my 12 Studi per chitarra, the humor in the Suite-on-BACH, and the lightness of the Capriccio tonale.
I thank him for his commitment spent in the many hours of recording, and also thank DaVinci Edition for believing in this project.
