Ferdinando Carulli was amongst the most important Italian guitarist-composers during the first half of the 19th century, and his Guitar Method, Op. 27 is still in use today. Marcello Fantoni’s first volume of Carulli Rediscovered (Dynamic CDS7956) was awarded the Chitarra d’Oro Prize for best guitar album of the year in Italy in 2023, and this second volume features world première recordings of rarely performed works. These range from the complex Grande Sonatas to three lively Neapolitan-style Ouvertures, Op. 6 [a] brought by Carulli from Italy to his new home in Paris. The album concludes with the brief but delightfully melancholy Étude in B minor, Op. 192.
