Bellafronte: Guitar Works

The guitar of Davide Di Ienno is the common denominator of this musical journey within the work of the composer Raffaele Bellafronte. His music touches on many styles; lightheartedly borrowing from various past traditions, he appropriates dance languages rooted in learned and folk music, and also pays tribute to Spanish music, symbol par excellence of guitar expression. Exploration of the guitar’s technical possibilities overlaps with that of the marimba, bassoon, flute and string quartet, making for a fascinating musical journey interspersed with a great rhythm, color and mood variety.
