Greeting Cards - 21 Pi... - Andrea De Vitis - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Between 1953 and 1967, the Italian composer Mario CastelnuovoTedesco wrote a series of Greeting Cards. These 52 musical folios, 21 of which were written for the guitar – an instrument that had inspired him since he first heard Segovia perform – are pen portraits of admired colleagues. Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s imagination and technical mastery are reinforced by the use of rhythms associated with the dedicatees’ nationality or through evocations inspired by their names. The cycle offers a surprising, generous and rewarding body of musical cryptology that belies its small-scale form.

Acclaimed guitarist Andrea De Vitis has won over 40 prizes in various international competitions and has also received a special artistic medal from Senate of the Republic, Italy.
