Gianluca Littera

Description:

A piece that pursues the diversity and fun of the harmonica to the hilt. Gianluca Rittera, a world-renowned chromatic harmonica virtuoso who has been remarkably active in the fields of classical music and jazz, performs a wide variety of works from the Renaissance, excerpts from Bach's "Goltberg Variations," jazz legends Chick Corea and Charlie Parker, to the tango "La Gumparsita. The recording he used for this recording is a collection of his own compositions, including the "Goltberg Variations" excerpts. He used Suzuki brand "bass harmonica," "chord harmonica," "chromatic harmonica Sirius," and "chromatic harmonica Chromatics" for all of these recordings, making full use of these instruments while multiplying each part to create a unique ensemble.
