Trained both as a chamber musician and a music scholar, I have come to my first solo recording after a lengthy and rewarding experience as the leader of Prometeus - a vocal-instrumental ensemble based in my homeland of Sardinia - which specialised in Hispanic music from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries.

Two former members of Prometeus, Alessandro Puggioni and Davide Pili, have contributed to the present recording too. The help of these extraordinary string players, with whom I have shared many musical thoughts and feelings, has rendered the difficult task of reconciling old aesthetic ideals and modern interpretative desiderata somewhat easier.
