A MYSTERIOUS STORY

Don Antonio, you must not take the secret of your guitars to your grave…”

“…it is impossible for me to pass it on to posterity”

Torres' Papier-Mâché was a unique case in the history of lutherie, not only for guitars: Antonio de Torres (1817-1892), now considered the Stradivari of the six strings, was the first and, as far as is known, the only one to build a Papier-Mâché instrument in 1862. This guitar, paradoxically, despite its apparent humility, produces a fascinating, mysterious and unique sound world. Since the original, preserved at the Museum of Music in Barcelona, is no longer able to express its voice, the album aims to rediscover and revive the peculiar timbral and sonic characteristics of this interesting instrument through the use of two inspired copies.

The luthier Fabio Zontini has taken up the challenge launched by Torres and has been building Papier-Mâché copies for almost twenty years. The two instruments used by Federica Artuso for the recording were made between April and September 2023 and both weigh (incredibly) just 995 grams. They also have natural gut strings. Zontini has thus created a kind of connection with the great Torres, capturing a kind of experiment-prototype by the Andalusian luthier, and successfully trying to spread it to the present day.

The Papier-Mâché is a kind of living contradiction precisely because of the contrast between the humble material it is made of and the artistically surprising sonic result. And inspired by this contrast, an emblematic program of that paradox that embodies the identity of the guitar was recorded, always poised between the humble soul, authentic and popular on one hand, and the Olympus of classical music on the other. The music recorded here is all by guitarist-composers who lived during the time of the cardboard guitar or who had dealings with Torres' instruments. These guitarists are part of that performing tradition and sonic poetics of which the Papier-Mâché is an emblem. Some of the pieces, although written by non-guitarist composers, are part of that repertoire with which the six strings are most identified.

Arcas and Parga* attempted to elevate the guitar to a classical instrument, without managing to completely emancipate themselves from flamenco reminiscences. Their style perfectly suits the archaic essentiality of the Papier-Mâché's sound, and their music, though strongly rooted in popular language, gradually leads us to the bourgeois and salon style of Garcia Tolsa* and Tarrega, pupils of Arcas. Their music is no longer just for those with flamenco blood in their veins or for those who consider opera the only classical music. It is music that appeals to intellectuals, and if it allows for dancing, it does so on the condition that it is a salon dance. From the musicians' point of view, unlike his predecessors, Tarrega manages to package expressive impulses into totally complete forms.

Miguel Llobet, a pupil of Tarrega, is known as a composer mainly for his guitar version of the Canciones populares catalanas. The part of the program concerning him also features a repertoire of which he is not the author, but which faithfully represents him and where all the innovations brought by his creative flair, which bring out what is most characteristic of the guitar, are evident.

Maria Luisa Anido was a pupil of Llobet, as well as his partner in a guitar duo. The Argentine musician was among the last guitarists in the 1950s to use gut strings - by then difficult to find - and, among other things, owned Tarrega's Torres (1864, FE17). Anido is the emblem of the guitar's image as a watershed between the world of folk music and that of classical music, a dichotomy that will probably never be fully resolved. This is demonstrated by her irresistible transcriptions of great classics such as Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and her South American pieces, pulsating with indigenous energy.

Functional Beauty!
Color: Mystery Blosoom
I am so happily surprised as to how beautiful this bag is. The quality is fantastic and it is true to the description. I got the Mystery Blossom that looks like a Midnight Beauty to me. It has all the pockets it describes and the side ones are great with elastic holding your bottle or whatever you may use them for very securely. so it is very functional. I know you would be happy to have one or morey ourself. it is very lightweight so you can put alot in it like a laptop or tablet without it weighing you down. You can use it as a shoulder/crossboday bag or carry like a tote bag. I just love it.

Nice size, lots of pockets…doesn’t last.
Color: White Daisy in Black
At first, when I purchased it in May, the only thing I didn’t like was the useless middle zipper inside of the middle main pocket. But the rest of this purse bag is awesome! Well… after 3.5 months, ALL of the inside stitching has come undone. Put something in what you think is the pocket, it’s not a pocket… it is between the lining somewhere. All of the zippers get stuck on the threads that are from the lining. Cute fabric, but that’s all you’ll get… cute fabric.

Good quality, GREAT price, many features
Color: Vintage Sunflowers
I was searching for an inexpensive handbag (tote) like this in brand names. The prices were unforgiveable and just crazy! As I was searching on Amazon Prime, this handbag came up. It is really pretty and has ALL the features that I was looking for: Several pockets inside and out, very attractive design for Fall, AND a good price. My only concern/complaint would be that there are more zippers than I would have liked, slip pockets for glasses and phone are my preference. A long strap is included for shoulder wear; it is made of light weight material and washable.

This bag shocked me .. in a good way!
Color: Hibiscus in Dark Blue
I have to be honest, when I removed this tote from the packaging, I said ... Nope! Going back! .. I use it for work, I'm a property mgr of many homes-so, giant Keychain, Calender spiral book, chargers, small tools, gadgets, pens, stationary etc, etc. Immediately assumed this wasn't gonna serve me purpose.. I could not have been more wrong .. Never ending pockets, zippered compartments, plenty of room for everything. Sturdy shoulder loops and a shoulder strap as well. The print is EXACTLY as photo choice depicts and it's just a beautiful bag.
