Info for Mozzani - Respighi: Complete Music for Guitar

Luigi Mozzani (1869-1943) was born into a poor family in Ancona, Italy. At a very young age he learned to play the guitar and the oboe, later he became principal oboist of the New York Philharmonic. However it is the guitar which was his great love. He wrote a Mozzani method, which included his technical innovations in Etudes for advanced students. He was also active in the development of the guitar as instrument, and promoted the so-called lyra-guitar in the form of a lyre.

Mozzani's music is charming, lyrical and beautifully atmospheric, the works issued in cycles of studies or character pieces.

Included as a bonus is the only guitar piece by Ottorino Respighi, a set of variations.

Played by one of Italy's leading guitarists, and house-guitarist of Brilliant Classics:Giulio Tampalini, with an impressive discography to his name of works by Tarrega, Llobet, Mirto, Ugoletti a.o.

Excellent liner notes in both English and Italian.
