F. Carulli works for guitar - fortepiano

[…] Leopoldo Saracino and Massimo Palumbo recorded the complete works for guitar and piano by Ferdinando Carulli […] The intervention of Saracino and Palumbo seems to be decisive for the whole understanding of Carulli […] But is due to the art of the two performers if in these three first volumes comes out with energy –even more incredible if we think at the particular instrumental matching – all the versatility and the tension of the style already near to the eighteen century, but as were attracted from a unknown force, feels the early romantic impulse.[…]

[…]Leopoldo Saracino and Massimo Palumbo play respectively a “Guadagnini” guitar of 1823 and a Fortepiano from Wien of the same years, and the sound is unforgettable for its transparency and evocative force: the guitar has a sharper sound compared to most modern guitars, and has with Saracino a graceful dynamism and, where needed intense singing tones.

36 Capricci for guitar by Luigi Legnani

“[…] The 36 Capricci by Legnani are one of the most beautiful virtusic pieces of the nineteen century guitar repertoire. […] Saracino, who plays an original guitar of the early ‘800, give a clear and careful interpretation, with the aim to get over all the musicality of the pieces.”)
Stefano Russomanno, Musica)

[…] Leopoldo Saracino present us the 36 pieces with the versatile spirit that belong to the various expressive moments of the eclectic genre of the Capricci: in this way is to understand the bright sound of the trebles, the abilizy to make sound clearly

uncommon and difficult keys for the guitar, the meditative and soft sound of the more romantic pieces, the virtuosity. […] Altogether a highly interesting recordings. […] With this the guitarist from Milan gave a contribute to demonstrate that to give up from the mixed recital Cds (with different composers and various compositions) does not means give up to show the virtuoso possibility of the performer but on the contrary test his real quality in a complete way. This was what we really expected from Saracino.”)
