Tarantella Siciliana

"A visit to the italian guitarist Guiseppe Torrisi's website is comparable to entering Aladdin's Cave, for here is a cornucopia of wonderful music - both original material and arrangements - for solo guitar and guitar with other instruments, all sorted into three different levels of difficulty; many feature a video of him performing the selected piece. In the past I have encountered several of his original works for guitar and, without exception, have always found them to be very entertaining, wellconstructed compositions; they contain the best of both worlds being pleasurable to perform and also to listen to. Tarantella Sicilliana does not deviate from this standard. As one would expect, this is a fast-paced, ever-flowing work, very exciting to listen to and, due to the constant flirting around the fingerboard, a highly visual experience from an audience viewpoint. A nice change of mood (but not pace) occurs towards the end where we go from minor to major and a lovely, albeit naive, little melody floats out of the score. This is lovely stuff and would make for a brilliant encore for the high-grade player."
