[Machine Translation] The title of the album, "OMBRE AMENE," means "good shades. Soprano Gabriela Di Lascio and guitarist James Akers have chosen works by 18th century composers Sol and Giuliani for this album. The Spanish composer Fernando Sor and the Italian guitarist Mauro Giuliani, who were active in Italy at the same time, elevated the guitar from a popular instrument played in taverns until the 18th century to an artistic instrument for concerts. Both of these composers wrote music primarily for guitar, but also used the guitar to accompany their songs. These pieces are not so well known, but the guitar sound, which Beethoven called a "miniature orchestra," and the exquisite singing give them a pleasant sound, just as the title suggests.
