Castelnuovo-tedesco: Guitar Concerto, Quintet

GUITAR CONCERTO, QUINTET, ROMA

By the 1930's, Castelnuovo-Tedesco was among the best known Italian composers and widely appreciated outside of Italy: important musicians such as Toscanini, Piatigorsky, Casella, Heifetz, Gieseking and Segovia performed his music. As the famous Italian guitarist, composer and musical scholar Angelo Gilardino has commented, "The three compositions presented in this CD represent the apex of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco's work in chamber music featuring the guitar, either solo or in concert with other instruments, and are among the most important of all his instrumental works".
