A Reunion with Gregorio Fracchia
It is a pleasure to present a new performance by our dear friend and regular collaborator, Gregorio Fracchia. Following the success of his recent appearances, Gregorio surprises us once again—this time not only as a performer but as a creator.
The Piece: “Come le Farfalle”
The piece we bring you today is titled “Come le Farfalle” (Like Butterflies). It is an original composition by Fracchia himself, forming part of his Mythology triptych.
- The Style: As the title suggests, the work is an exercise in lightness and motion.
- The Technique: It requires a subtle, almost aerial touch, evoking the erratic yet elegant flight of a butterfly.
The Ramírez Sound: Segovia Model
For this recording, Gregorio has chosen a Ramírez Segovia Model. This instrument is not a casual choice; its construction allows for a warm, deep projection that sustains the main melody with a rich harmonic foundation.
“It is fascinating to hear how the guitar’s basses sustain the structure while the treble notes ‘fly’ with crystalline clarity.”
