American Music for Guitar & Piano Stefano Cardi

A fascinating program of American Music in the widest and most flexible sense possible, so characteristic for the country itself. o All of them are American but their 'Americanness' is much more than a geographical fact. It constitutes a cultural source of a specific musical 'vocabulary' and aesthetics such as the strong link with the

folkloric roots of their respective countries of origin or eclecticism in their musical expressions.

Included are works by Scott Joplin, Ernesto Nazareth, Carlos Guastavino, George Gershwin, Dave Brubeck and Ignacio Cervantes. o Played with obvious love and dedication by Stefano Cardi (guitar) and Enrico Pieranunzi (piano), who arranged and transcribed the music himself.
