Cristina Galietto: “The Romantic Guitar: Dreams of Europe”

← Cristina Galietto

Mertz, Schubert & Tárrega on Siccas Luthiers Guitars

Cristina Galietto presents a journey through the Romantic guitar repertoire in this concert on Siccas Luthiers guitars. The programme brings together three voices of the 19th century: Johann Kaspar Mertz, whose original guitar writing embodies the Romantic spirit; Franz Schubert's Ave Maria, a transcription that has become one of the most moving pieces in the guitar canon; and Francisco Tárrega's Fantasia on Themes from La Traviata, a virtuoso homage to Verdi's opera.

Galietto, born in Naples in 2000, is the first female winner of the EuroStrings competition (2021) and holds multiple international first prizes including the Andrés Segovia Competition in Monheim am Rhein.

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
