Cristian Naldi / RURALE

Rurale is the second chapter of Cristian Naldi’s solo project. Original compositions, improvisations and arrangements from the classical repertoire create a nocturnal and leaden atmosphere. Loneliness becomes living material, sensitive, for reflection and contemplation in which the guitar works for new transmutations: it becomes piano, violin or harp, it pulls away to finally disappear.
