Stefano Palamidessi (guitar)About
The works of Sor form the basis of the classical guitar style, developing the technique to a highly professional level. The works are charming, galant and well-crafted, classically styled and played by one of Italy’s best guitarists: Stefano Palamidessi.
The Fantasies, on original themes or, even more frequently, on given themes (opera arias or popular tunes), give – through the principle of variations – a maximum prominence to not only the technical-expressive abilities of the instrument but also to the skill of the interpreter.
According to the tradition of the eighteenth century, the Fantasy generically takes a tripartite form; the core of Variations is preceded by a slow introduction and followed by a Finale, which is often a waltz or another dance of a brilliant nature. Though in line with these principles, Fernando Sor gives the best of himself in the introductive sections: they form the expressive heart of his compositions: through them he highlights his instrumental and tone colour expertise.
