Classical guitarist Orlando Pellicori performs Capriccio Diabolico, Op.85b by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895–1968) with string quartet and filmed on location in Corigliano-Rossano (Cosenza), Italy. This comes via the Omni Foundation and their Youtube channel (go subscribe). Originally a solo work, this is his arrangement for guitar and string quartet based on the composer’s version for guitar and orchestra.
Great to hear this work with string quartet which adds a lot of additional interest and colourful sustain. It also makes for very lush and relaxing listening in the intimate slower sections. I love hearing lots of the original switched to the quartet in the recap.
