Carlo Francesco Defranceschi's "Suite Sudamericana" is a captivating journey through the vibrant rhythms and melodies of South America, captured in a series of three evocative pieces. The suite begins with "Alba di Danza," a piece that exudes a playful elegance, followed by the intoxicating sensuality of "Danza Creola." The suite concludes with "Danza di Joropo," a whirlwind of abandon that showcases Defranceschi's mastery of the guitar.
In addition to the suite, the album features the hauntingly beautiful "La faneuse hâlée 'Elégie pour guitare'" and a collection of six nocturnes, each with its own distinct character. From the playful "Bagatelle" to the introspective "Bien à suivre," and the lively "Salade rouge," these nocturnes offer a diverse exploration of Defranceschi's musical prowess.
Released on October 17, 2017, under Valle Giovanni Edizioni Musicali, this album is a testament to Defranceschi's deep understanding of classical guitar repertoire and his ability to infuse it with a unique, contemporary sensibility. With a total duration of 24 minutes, "Suite Sudamericana" is a concise yet powerful collection that highlights the artist's technical skill and emotional depth. Whether you're a long-time fan of classical guitar or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.
