Cristiano Porqueddu - Franco: Music for Guitar (CD) - CD

Details: Born in Torino in 1967, Alfredo Franco was involved in non-classical music in his youth before taking up the classical guitar. He would later abandon concert activity as a performer and focus instead on composition. His now prolific classical guitar output has been well received by important interpreters such as Cristiano Porqueddu and increasingly programmed on the stage and in the studio. This triple-disc set constitutes a broad crosssection of Franco's solo guitar music. Porqueddu has offered brief comments on some of the many, varied compositions that will be new to many listeners. Other Information: Recorded January to June 2023 in Nuoro, Italy, Bilingual booklet in English and Italian contains a short description written by the artist for each piece
