Nearly thirty years after La Guitarra de Torres (Divox, 1996/1997), Stefano Grondona is releasing anew album entirely dedicated to exploring the sound of Antonio de Torres' instruments. The CDcloses a circle that began to take shape with the initial public performances on these guitars duringthe luthier festival held at the Conservatorio di Vicenza, in 1995. Now, after a long exploratory coexistence,that Guitarra already configures itself from the title as Ancestral - and therefore archetypal,not adjectifiable - through an album that simultaneously retraces the universe of Torres and the expressivemodes of Grondona. In fact, the recordings span from 2000 to 2022, encompassing a widevariety of environments and sonic creations.
