Carlo Aonzo


Carlo Aonzo is one of the most successful and active mandolin players in Italy today. He plays almost everything, from typical Italian mandolin music to classical mandolin music, Bluegrass, Jazz and world music.

He does regularly perform at mandolin festivals. And he is permanently trying to improve the situation of the mandolin in his home country Italy.

He has made some very interesting recordings of works by Italian mandolin players that have emigrated to the USA:

Traversata (with David Grisman and guitarist Bepe Gampetta)

Serenata (with guitarist Bepe Gampetta)

He is teaching around the world, especially in the USA and in Italy where he is directing his International Mandolin Academy:

Beim Eurofestival Zupfmusik 2014 trat Carlo Aonzo zusammen mit seinem Trio mit Claudio Bellato und Loris Lombardo auf. In dieser Besetzung spielen sie zum Beispiel "Spain" von Chick Corea, hier ein Video von 2012 mit diesem Stück:

Carlo Aonzo has puplished sheet music for the mandolin. My recommendation for players of typical Italian mandolin music is the book Northern Italian & Ticino Region Folk Songs for Mandolin. This books contains a nice selection of typical Italian tunes. It includes a CD with performances of all the tunes.
