Jean Absil: guitar works
Da Vinci Classics
“Carlo Pignatta’s interpretation is very beautiful, fluid, and elegant; he appears perfectly at ease and in complete harmony with these pages, which are anything but simple or immediate. Credit is due for tackling a repertoire that, although dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, is still performed very rarely. Warmest congratulations.”
Marco Riboni, Amadeus, no. 413, March 2026.
“An especially delightful part of the recording is the four Sketches ‘Sur un paravent chinois’, Op. 147, where Carlo Pignatta’s guitar paints vivid scenes, from the dragon procession to the sampans sailing along the Yangtze River.”
Luigi Fertonani, Bresciaoggi, December 30, 2025.

“[…] Songe capricorne is a work rich in musical substance and is convincingly rendered by Pignatta, who shapes its five sections with varied breathing and intense touch. This outpouring of ever-changing timbres, yet governed by a more incisive rhythmic articulation, can also be found in Pignatta’s works, such as Come tutte le più belle cose. The publisher dotGuitar has offered, through Carlo Pignatta’s interpretative artistry, a broad overview of the creative world of European guitar music over the past sixty years. An entirely successful undertaking, both for the quality of the performance and for the expressive depth of the works presented.”
Paolo Cavallo, Eco del Chisone, 2022.
