A very assured performance and presentation. I tried to find out something
about Marco Meloni but there are many people with that name, so I didn't
(!).
He seems to be from Sardegna.
I tried to play some of Paulo's guitar pieces a few years ago. He writes
some very attractive neo-Baroque (or pastiche?) music. This Entrada sounds
like it's referencing Bach allemandes to me. He has also written some very
Vivaldi-like music.
His music is so Iberian that the term pastiche is non applicable anymore.
Ethnocentricm redeems.
But Paulo's music is not easy. I'll partly blame my rather poor guitar but
I found the music too challenging.
Paulo's music seemed to me as if it was written for an instrument with low
basses (but I don't think I'm hearing Marco Meloni with bourdons on both?)
and there were never any campanellas.
I'm pretty sure Paulo wanted to avoid cliches.
But Marco Meloni gives very impressive and convincing performances of
Paulo's music.
Yes!
