SPECIAL EDITION!!!
...here is some press review for you.
... Italian Christian Saggese wins the Andres Segovia International Contest, one of the most prestigious contests in the world.
“EL MUNDO”
Saggese , winner of the “Segovia” (January 1999), is considered one of Europe’s best young guitarists.
“EL PAIS”
... Saggese plays with a disarming tranquillity.
“SUONARE NEWS”
... At Pesaro’s Rossini Theatre, Saggese’s magic guitar.
... His “special effects”, his fantasies of sumptuous and phantasmagoric timbres which turn the guitar into lots of different voices: from hardly perceptible whispers – which however reach even the audience in the last row – through to an orchestra of endless colours.
... His mastery of the instrument is complete: never a hesitation, never a wrong note which would however be absolutely excusable in such a journey into the technical timbre virtuosity.
“RESTO DEL CARLINO”
... Saggese’s guitar has this special feature: creating the impression in the audience of a real dialogue where the instrument, the voice of the instrument is so human, sensitive, delicate and warm to give life to a language that sometimes goes even beyond the language of music.
“CORRIERE ADRIATICO - Il quotidiano delle Marche”
From Segovia through to Pittaluga Contest, history of an amazing career
… Winner of Alessandria’s Pittaluga Competition (September 2002), the first time of a Piedmontese
“LA STAMPA”
... He stands out for the formal elegance and the nuances of phrasing, the endless range of timbres, and the confidence with which he faces the moments of highest virtuosity.
In the Sonata op.47 by Alberto Ginastera, he reached artistic peaks of rare beauty.
“GUITART”
... He succeeded in involving the audience with the refinement of sound, the care of phrasing, the constant pursuit of elements capable of clarifying and enriching the musical phrase.
“CORRIERE DELL’ARTE” Torino
Christian’s guitar has technique and soul.
Behind every single note there is a patient and meditated work; here hands are really at the constant service of brain.
“LA NUOVA PROVINCIA DI ASTI”
Great success of Saggese at the “De Bonis 2001” International Contest in Cosenza.
He undoubtedly stood out – thanks to an acquired mental mastery of the text – as a musician featuring a well definite instrumental character.
“TEATRO RENDANO” Cosenza
