Stefano Grondona

Background: The first release by Stefano Grondona entirely dedicated to J. S. Bach. He asserts in the liner notes: “Bach’s musical creativity moves almost at the margins of the instruments to which he destined his compositions . A guitar of Antonio de Torres (1817-1892), the most transcendent of the guitar builders, lends itself by its very nature to going where it is no longer guitar ... In the collection of Bach works collected on the CD I intend fully to make the most gestural expression of these important pieces... For my six-string instrument, more specifically for the two Torres guitars used here, it is an expressive path going beyond those confined conceptual boundaries relating to a localised historical identity... a guitar which cancels every preconception, every phonic reiteration, every memory of a genre of sound of guitar. It becomes the instrument of gesture, the voice of a soul, the enunciation of a verb, which flows through the inflorescence, finally free, the future of Bach’s path”.

Stefano Grondona plays two prestigious Torres guitars: Torres 1887, SE 111 (tracks 1-6, 10-25); Torres 1887, SE 107 (tracks 7-9).
