Mauro Giuliani, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco

Castelnuovo-Tedesco: Sonatina op. 205 / Giuliani: Serenata op. 127

Two seminal pieces for guitar and flute duet. Castelnuovo-Tedesco's 20th-century masterpiece of the genre, his Sonatina, is a brilliant piece cast in three movements (I. Allegretto grazioso; II. Tempo di Siciliana; III. Scherzo-Rondo/Allegretto con spirito). Giuliani's Serenata is a perfect distillation of this 19th-century master's distillation of Italian and Viennese Early Romantic style. This deluxe 2CD set includes a slow-tempo practice version of each of these classic pieces to help you get up to speed. Includes an authoritative, newly engraved music score printed on high-quality ivory paper; a digital stereo compact disc featuring a complete performance of the concerto with flute & guitar, and a second performance minus you, the flute soloist; and a second compact disc containing a full-speed version of the complete version as well as a special -20% slow-tempo version of the accompaniment for practice purposes. Each piece is indexed for your practice and performance convenience. Performed by Katarzyna Bury, fluteAccompaniment : Christian Reichert, guitar
