Alfredo Franco: Music ... - Cristiano Porqueddu - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Alfredo Franco was born in 1967 in Torino, Italy. After studying the guitar he abandoned a solo career and devoted himself to composition. He rapidly became one of the foremost and innovating guitar composers of his time. His works are published by prestigious publishing houses and his music is performed by notable performers worldwide.

His music is highly original, influenced by jazz, folk and minimal music, picturesque, appealing and expertly written for his instrument, evoking wonderful sounds and timbres.

Played with affection and understanding by Cristiano Porqueddu, one of today’s foremost guitarists and a close friend of the composer. Critics call him “A reference point for a new generation of musicians”. His Carnegie Hall recital was a triumph: “he has the vision and fortitude to forge a new and substantial path by discovering, recording and performing great works that have been largely ignored” (Brooklyn Daily Eagle). His Brilliant Classics discography is substantial and impressive and includes works by Barrios, Sor, Gilardino, and many others.
