Ferdinando Carulli (1770-1841), was the true promoter of the Parisian "Guitaromania", his prestige remained unfortunatly and inexplicably tied for a long time to didactic production and to the well known "methods", op. 27 and 241. Nevertheless, thanks to a careful interest in recent years and the subsequent discovery of many unknown works, new light is shining on the composer.  The present CD presents a significant selection of solo pieces that covers nearly all of Carulli's Parisian creative span. In addition, we find the special occasion to be able to listen some singular pieces for voice and guitar dedicated to the celebrated Madame Grassini (Napoleonic "imperial singer").
