Cimarosa on Guitar : Daniel Estrem

Daniel Estrem : Cimarosa on Guitar.
Colorful classical guitar.

Domenico Cimarosa (1749-1801) was an Italian composer who wrote more than eighty operas during his lifetime, as well as numerous instrumental works, both secular and religious in nature. In his time Cimarosa was both celebrated and handsomely rewarded for his works. When he replaced Salieri as kapellmeister at the court of Leopold II, for instance, the Emperor bestowed on him today's equivalent of $450,000.

It was shortly thereafter that Cimarosa completed his most famous work, Il matrimonio segreto, a comic opera full of invention and wit. The performance in Vienna greatly pleased the Emperor after which he provided supper for the entire cast and asked them to perform the opera again that same evening. Leopold II also gave the composer what would now be about $75,000.

The transcriptions for guitar on this recording are from his 88 one-movement sonatas for keyboard.
