About

The effervescent creativity of Franco Margola (already featured on the double-CD Tactus TC901390, Chamber Music, Concertos for Soloist and Orchestra) focuses in this recording on music for guitar, both as a solo instrument and in chamber music settings. Margola's approach to the guitar occurred in 1967. In an interview given to Maestro Domenico Lafasciano for the magazine Accademia della chitarra classica, the composer explained that his interest in this instrument matured thanks to his friend and colleague Renzo Cabassi (1908-1988). Initially, Margola was reluctant to compose for the guitar as he barely knew its tuning, but eventually, the particularities of this fascinating and intimate instrument inspired him more and more, making it one of his favourites. The De Carli catalogue lists over 450 works for guitar, both solo and chamber ensemble, many of which remain unpublished and unknown. Mauro and Luciano Tortorelli - with the assistance of Ludovica Del Bagno on violin - perform this first-ever recording of previously unpublished works by the brilliant composer from Brescia.
