Michele Di Filippo (guitar)About
Despite his early experience as a guitarist, Ruiz-Pipó did not write from the perspective of a ‘guitarist-composer’ such as Ponce, Brouwer or Dyens. Rather, his relationship with guitar was both visceral and remote, reflecting the physical distance separating him from his heritage.
Nevertheless, there is an unmistakably Hispanic character to pieces such as the Seis Canciones y danzas and two sets of Preludes which made him a favourite composer for the guitarist Narciso Yepes, who became one of the foremost exponents of classical guitar in the generation after Segovia.
The Spanish folk tradition is seamlessly integrated by Ruiz-Pipó within his own, distinctive and evolving musical voice, which bridges the divide between a tonal-modal centre and free chromaticism. The collection begins with the upbeat Sonata ‘pur un taxi’ and concludes with the late, autumnal moods of the five Otonales. Highlights in between include a light-hearted Requilorio (set of ‘fripperies’) premiered by Yepes, and homages to Cabezón and Mudarra, two great vihuelist-composers of the 16th century.
There is a forward-looking edge yet also nostalgic patina to Ruiz-Pipó’s guitar writing which lends this music an individual profile that stands out in the landscape of the Spanish guitar in the 20th century. The album marks the label debut of the Italian guitarist Michele Di Filippo, born in 1994, who is also an experienced composer for his instrument.
