Cristiano Porqueddu, one of the foremost guitarist of today, is Artistic Director of the Sardinia Moving Arts Festival. In this capacity he commissioned new works to be written by leading contemporary guitar composers and the result is presented in this 4-CD set: world premieres of guitar compositions by Dusan Bogdanovic, Franco Cavallone, Kevin Swierkosz-Lenart, Francesco Morittu, Edoardo Dadone, Leo Brouwer, Angelo Gilardino, Carlo De Franceschi, Ermanno Brignolo, Mark Del Priora, Roberto Piana, and by himself, Cristiano Porqueddu.

The binding element of all these compositions and styles is the dedication to Sardinia, island of sun, sea and inspiring nature, rich in folklore and music.

Played by Cristiano Porqueddu, guitar. As a bonus CD we hear a monologue spoken by one of Italy’s most famous actresses, Stefania Masala, interspersed with guitar interludes.
