Chaconne: Aniello Desiderio plays Baroque Music

Chaconne is part of the Guitarcoop catalogue as a project dedicated to revisiting historical repertoire through the artistry of leading contemporary guitarists. In this recording, Aniello Desiderio presents a Baroque-centered program featuring works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Gaspar Sanz and Domenico Scarlatti.

At the core of the album stands Bach’s Chaconne from the Partita No. 2, one of the most emblematic works in Western instrumental literature. Desiderio’s interpretation combines structural clarity, expressive depth and tonal refinement, contributing to the ongoing dialogue on performing Baroque repertoire on the modern guitar.

The program is complemented by dances from the Spanish Baroque guitar tradition associated with Gaspar Sanz and by a representative selection of Scarlatti sonatas, whose virtuosity and inventive character gain renewed color and resonance in their guitar transcriptions.

Within the Guitarcoop catalogue, Chaconne reflects the label’s commitment to artistic excellence, historical repertoire and the international dissemination of recordings that expand the expressive scope of the classical guitar.
