The compositions on this release, which walk along the border between past and present, were dedicated to the guitar by Glauco Cataldo. He is a free-thinking musician, working in self-imposed isolation, and deserving of fame not only for his experience and substantial output, but also for the quality of his work, the fruit of an extremely unusual artistic and intellectual personality. Cataldo was born in Naples in March 1920. He studied music first in Pesaro and later in Milan, with Giorgio Federico Ghedini and Antonio Votto. From 1948 onward, he served as a teacher at the G. Nicolini Conservatory of Piacenza. He passed away in 2009. The works on this album are performed by Italian guitarist Giancarlo Dellacasa.
