Golden Guitar as the Best Guitar CD of the year 2003
Guitar 'Luciano Lovadina', 1987
This is the first worldpremiere for modern complete works of the famous Spanish guitarist Francisco Tarrega by an Italian Artist, Giulio Tampalini who won several prestigious awards. In the history of the guitar, Francisco Tárrega, both the man and his work, are part of that period when the instrument was in decline (late romanticism)and yet, he is surrounded by a mythology that has transformed him into the symbol of the renaissance of the guitar. Unfortunately, he did not live to see this rebirth. He was born in Vilareal de los Infantes, in the Valencia region of Spain. Throughout his childhood and adolescence, Tárrega was little more than an amateur, self-taught guitarist, even though his exceptional capabilities were clearly evident and hinted at the musician he would become. In his early youth, he enrolled in the Conservatory of Madrid, taking classes in piano and solfeggio and despite its coming a bit late in his education, this instruction opened his musical horizons, feeding his fertile and instinctive musicality and rather than estranging him from the guitar as it could have, it was during this period that his calling as a guitarist manifested itself fully.

8 pages booklet Italian/English
The role Mauro Giuliani played as a guitar virtuoso, as well as composer and transcriber of the themes mostly appreciated by his audience, brought him to become the main Artist in the Vienna music world at the beginning of the 19th century and let him become the symbol of a radiant and dazzling Italian-ness.
The collection of the six Rossini pieces is a faithful representation of the composer's style and an example of his search for instrumental technique and timbre of the highest order. The six Rossini works are built following a potpourri logic as far as combining operatic themes are concerned and illustrate both a composing style that was in fashion in Vienna at the beginning of the 1800's and the ability of one of the most important talents ever in the history of the guitar to express himself.
Different considerations must be made on the cycles of variations, among which the Opera no. 45 included in this cd, concerning Haendel's well known theme as Follia di Spagna and Opera 107. Herein Giuliani is showing very well his capabilities as a genuine and creative composer. He makes a deep analysis of the theme's latent expressive content to obtain a variation in style in accordance with creative ideas.

What I want...
is always the same: a music which in order to be grasped, does not require a privileged intellectual training, but can rely uniquely upon its compositional clarity and logic; a music which is at the same time the expression and the aesthetic form of a curiosity able to reflect everything - including the illusion of progressiveness. Art as a foretaste of freedom in an age without freedom.
(Interview with Ursula Stürzbecher, 1971)

It is as if the motives left open in the music of René Eespere beg the question: who am I in the midst of this mortal world? And this is his way to uncompromisingly represent the ethical art of the past.
