Suite per la Cappella degli Scrovegni
Listen to Nicolò Spera playing Suite per la Cappella degli Scrovegni by Giacomo, recorded at the stunning Scrovegni Chapel in Padova.
[Quintet] is an extremely appealing and accessible work, full of vitality, passion, and melodic interest; and it’s clearly a wonderful showcase for both guitarist and quartet.
