Unlike other classical guitarists, Aniello Desiderio seems to have it both ways. While his virtuosic abilities are compared to those of Paganini and other nineteenth-century icons, he receives praise from the finest purveyors of twentieth-century music, including celebrated artists Chick Corea and John McLaughlin. And while his classical sensibilities are steeped in centuries of rich tradition, his unique approach makes his music timeless.
Born in Naples, Italy, in 1971, Mr. Desiderio was drawn to the guitar at an early age. He started performing locally at eight years old, and internationally at eighteen, collecting accolades along the way.
His enthusiasm, passion, and charisma quickly caught the attention of the international media. Culture columns far and wide began remarking on his “acrobatic arpeggios and scales of extraordinary brilliance,” likening his elegance to a Ferrari (Stuttgarter Zeitung, Germany), and proclaiming him “the most brilliant talent of the decade,” (Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of Germany’s largest newspapers).
Beside his Concert on 1st December at RELC Auditorium, Maestro Desiderio will hold a Master class on 2nd December as well as a Seminar on 3rd December.
He will also be a Member of Jury at the 7th International Guitar Competition.
