In this album, Quaternaglia records the oeuvre for guitar quartet by Brazilian composer Paulo Bellinati. Born in São Paulo (SP), Bellinati is one of the central figures in the internationalization of Brazilian guitar that began at the start of the 1980s and continues to evolve today. The start of Bellinati’s activities as a composer for solo guitar and guitar chamber groups coincides with the resurging of an idiomatic compositional style animated by the work of composer-performers. This phenomenon is not an isolated incident in the history of the guitar: from Aguado to Sor, from Giuliani to Regondi and Coste, form Mertz to Tárrega, before the start of the 20th century, guitar music was essentially written by composers who were also instrumentalists.

The landscape of guitar composition changed dramatically between the 1920s and 1970s. Most of the composers that wrote for Andrés Segovia and Julian Bream – Torroba, Turina, Ponce, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Berkeley, Britten, Walton, Henze and many others – did not play the instrument, the most notable exceptions being Villa-Lobos, Barrios and, in the second half of the 20th century, Leo Brouwer. Another change in scenery marked the start of the 1980s, when works by composer-guitarists such as Francis Kleynjans, Nikita Koshkin, Roland Dyens, Stepan Rak, Carlo Domeniconi, and Sérgio Assad began to coexist with the more experimental compositions of Peter Maxwell Davies, Elliott Carter, Luciano Berio, Toru Takemitsu, and Brouwer himself.

Characteristic of the work of guitar-composers was a revitalization of guitar repertoire through the use of idiomatic musical solutions. Published and widely disseminated, these works began, little by little, to transcend the performance activity of their own creators, beginning to appear in renditions by classical guitarists around the world and arriving quickly in the academy and international competitions.
