THE ITALIAN MANDOLIN
‼️ New release ‼️
🇮🇹 È con profondo orgoglio che presento Aonzo plays Calace, un album nato da registrazioni solistiche realizzate ventiquattro anni fa e interamente dedicate al repertorio di Raffaele Calace: un viaggio musicale attraverso l’eredità del “padre del mandolino moderno”, finalmente pronto a vedere la luce dopo un lungo e appassionato cammino. |
🇬🇧 It is with great pride that I introduce Aonzo plays Calace, an album drawn from solo mandolin recordings made twenty-four years ago and devoted entirely to the music of Raffaele Calace—a musical journey through the legacy of the “father of the modern mandolin,” now at last ready to be shared after a long and heartfelt path. |
From the Acoustic Disc web site:
Carlo Aonzo, from Savona, Italy, is one of the world’s great mandolin virtuosos. His passionate playing is featured on two Acoustic Disc projects — Traversata, with Beppe Gambetta and David Grisman, and Tone Poets.
On this recording, Carlo explores the repertoire of Raffaele Calace (1863 - 1934) from Naples, who composed amazingly beautiful and virtuosic music for solo mandolin. As Carlo states in his notes — “The works presented here follow a journey through Calace’s creative life, from his youthful compositions to the very last piece in his vast catalog, ranging from lyrical and accessible works to Preludes of transcendent virtuosity.” Produced by David Grisman, this recording is available in the sonically superior Hi-Definition (24-bit, 96 kHz) format.
