Diangelo Cicilia, guitar
Even during his studies at the Rotterdam Conservatory, Cicilia - born in 1971 on Curaçao in the Netherlands Antilles - sought compositions which concerned themselves with, and furthered, in his words, "the exploration and development of contemporary technical and expressive possibilities for the guitar". As he found nothing meeting his ideals in the Dutch music of our time, he approached a few (young) Dutch composers and asked them to write pieces taking these considerations in mind.
The five works on this hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) "New Dutch Guitar Music" are a few early results of Diangelo Cicilia's initiative. They are, at the same time, the fruit of intense collaborations between him and the composers Jo Sporck, Frank Crijns, Florian Magnus Maier, and Paul Goodman, three of whom ironically are not native-born Dutch composers but are nevertheless strongly linked to musical life there.
That Diangelo Cicilia has chosen a remarkable work of Italian provenance, Sequenza XI by Luciano Berio, as the bonus track for this SACD is not coincidental: his teacher, Eliot Fisk, is its dedicatee and gave its première.
