Baudino, Maurizio / Dario Vannini
Ecstasy Of Colours
This Da Vinci Classics album presents the kaleidoscopic, dazzling impressions of a guitar duo, comprising both original works for this duet and arrangements. The album opens with the Sonatine for Two Guitars by Alexandre Tansman; transcribed works include four touching Mazurkas by Chopin, two intense and expressive Song without Words by Felix Mendelssohn (transcribed by Miguel Llobel), two pieces by Cajkovskij - one of which was transcribed by Llobel, while Maurizio Baudino completed the opus with another arrangement), as well as five Preludes from Skrjabins op. 16. The album is completed by a piece by young composer Marco De Biasi, who pays homage to Prokofiev with an original work; this last item, as well as Baudinos transcriptions, are presented here in world premieres.
