GUITALIAN QUARTET
Guido Fichtner, Claudio Marcotulli,
Maurizio Norrito, Stefano Palamidessi
GQ
Like some finely-tuned machine
synchronized to the actions of its member
parts, the players in the Guitalian Quartet
operate of one accord. Crisp production
values and impeccabile engineering
technique add clarity and focus to an
already well-defined body of work, while
the sweetness and purity of the guitar itself
is a balm; a summer breeze off the
Mediterranean that mingles easily with
memory and desire.
Scene, Chris Morgan
A recording of riches, performer with great
wit and intensity by an exciting ensemble.
Highly recommended!!
Classical Guitar, Tim Panting
Really good the four guitarists who flaunt
technical and artistic qualities of the highest
level: great virtuosity, excellent
coordination, perfect harmony, very clear
purpose and intent and considerable
expressive results.
Il Fronimo, Marco Riboni
…music well arranged,
without force, without excessive virtuosity
… the musical quality is excellent…
Chitarra e dintorni
..interpretation of first order…
a fast-paced and never boring rhythm,
a busy and subtle interweaving of voices
and timbres and a framework of sound
effects very well dosed animate the entire
CD that draws the listener's attention for an
hour and completely absorbs him.

Contemporary Italian Inspiration
in works for four guitars
dal “Bestiario”
Questa nasce nell’Asia maggiore, e splende sì forte che toglie le sue ombre,
e morendo non perde esso lume,e mai li cade più le penne,
e la penna che si spicca più non luce.
Alep non vive fori dall’acqua.
Ceraste
Queste hanno quattro pi[ccoli] corni mobili,
onde quando si vogliono cibare
nascondano sotto le foglie tutta la persona,
salvo esse cornicina, le quali movendo,
pare agli uccelli quelli essere piccoli vermini che scherzino,
onde subito si calano per beccarli,
e questa subito s’avviluppa loro in cerchio e sì li divora.
Taranta
Il morso della taranta mantiene l’omo nel suo proponimento, cioè quello che pensava quando fu morso.
Macli: pel sonno e giunta
Questa bestia nasce in Iscandinavia isola.
Ha forma di gran cavallo,
se non che la gran lunghezza dello collo e delli orecchi lo variano.
Pasce l’erba allo ‘ndirieto perchè ha sì lungo il labbro di sopra che pascendo innanzi cop[r]irebbe l’erba.
Ha le gambe d’un pezzo; per questo, quando vol dormire, s’appoggia a uno albero, e i cacciatori, antivedendo il loco usato a dormire, segan quasi tutta la pianta,
e quando questo poi vi s’appoggia nel dormire, per lo sonno cade. E cacciatori così lo pigliano, e ogni altro modo di pigliarlo è vano,
perché è d’incredibile velocità nel correre. Anphesibene
Questa ha due teste,
l’una nel suo loco, l’altra nella coda, come se non bastassi che da uno solo loco gittassi il veneno.

The Guitalian Quartet was established in 2006 and is composed of soloist musicians, who succeeded in the most important
national and international guitar contests and, in their own activities, they recorded for the most important recording
companies such as Dynamic, Opera Tres, Antes Concerto, Phoenix Classics, Tactus, Brilliant Classics, Nuova Era.
They performed several times on the most important Italian and international TV and radio channels.
Their first CD, that is called “Guitalian Quartet Live”, has been so well appreciated by both audience and critics.
They successfully performed in the most prestigious concert halls and venues in the world:
the Salle Cortot in Paris, the Triphony Hall in Tokyo, the Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto, the Teatro Coliseo in Buenos Aires,
the Bath Festival in England and the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, Italy.
The Guitalian Quartet is very keen on new musical horizons: some of the most significant Italian composers, such as
Paolo Arcà, Giovanni Sollima, Fabrizio de Rossi Re, Carmelo Nicotra, Mauro Schiavone, Nicola Jappelli and Francesco Pennisi
dedicated their works to this quartet, who performed them as world premieres.
Beside playing as concert performers, all quartet members regularly teach in different music conservatories in Italy.
