Info for Segovia

Carlotta Dalia is a young classical guitarist from Italy who plays on a very special instrument: a historic guitar built by the German luthier Hermann Hauser I for the legendary Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia. There are only two such guitars left in the world. One is displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and with the other, Carlotta Dalia recorded her current album "Segovia" – a tribute to Andrés Segovia, who is regarded as a pioneer of classical guitar playing.

The album will be released on March 28, 2025, and is Carlotta Dalia's debut album with Berlin Classics, the label that has signed her as the first female guitarist. Born in 1999 in Tuscany, she gave her first solo concert at the age of twelve. Throughout her career, she has won over 40 national and international competitions, including the International Competition Niccolò Paganini in Parma. At 16, she released her first album "Gran Solo". Two years later, she completed her studies at the renowned Accademia Chigiana in Siena. Additionally, in 2022, she finished a postgraduate degree at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. That same year, her recording of all the guitar works by Ida Presti won the prestigious Chitarre d’oro award. Since 2024, she has been a faculty member at the Conservatorio “Gaetano Donizetti” - Politecnico delle Arti di Bergamo.

For "Segovia", Carlotta Dalia selected works by the Spanish guitarist and composer Andrés Segovia (1893-1987) and juxtaposed them with compositions by his contemporaries: Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968), Carlos Pedrell (1878-1941), Hans Haug (1900-1967), Jacques Ibert (1890-1962), Federico Moreno Torroba (1891-1982), and Joaquin Turina (1882-1949). A special highlight is the commissioned work by the Italian composer, conductor, and cellist Enrico Melozzi titled “Re-Birds da un frammento di J. P. Rameau”. This piece was specifically composed for Carlotta Dalia.

Born in Tuscany in 1999, guitarist Carlotta Dalia is attracting attention with her passionate and deep interpretations, carried by a round and powerful tone. Since giving her first solo concert at the age of twelve, she has won over 40 national and international competitions, including first prizes in Uppsala, Hong Kong, Miami, and Madrid, as well as at the International Competition Niccolò Paganini in Parma.

She is now a regular guest on concert stages worldwide - tours have taken her to Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, Sweden, Russia, Ireland, Japan, Lettland, the Netherlands, various South American countries, China, and Switzerland, for example. For some time now, she has been performing repeatedly as a duo with violinist Giuseppe Gibboni, the current winner of the Paganini Violin Competition in Genoa in 2021 - the two played, among other places, in Rome's Quirinal Palace at the invitation of Italian President Sergio Mattarella; the concert was broadcast live on Italian radio. Recent concerts also took Carlotta Dalia throughout Italy as well as to with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Guitar Concerto No. 1 together with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra to Uppsala; she has also performed in Norway, Brazil, Athens and the Nikolaisaal Postdam and has given a recital and orchestral concerts at the Staatstheater Darmstadt.. In the coming season, she will perform in Florence, Lima, Santiago de Chile, at the Segovia Foundation in Linares and as a duo with Maximilian Hornung in Friedrichshafen.

She released her first CD Gran Solo with works by Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Scarlatti, Bach, and Sor at the age of 16. A second recording, including compositions by Bach's contemporary Silvius Leopold Weiss, followed in 2018. In 2020, she recorded a sonatina by Angelo Gilardino dedicated to her under the title Angelus, which was released together with works by other composers; in the same year, her recording of the complete guitar works by Ida Presti appeared. For this recording she was awarded the Chitarre d'oro prize in Milan in October 2022. A solo album with works by Andrés Segovia and a new composition by Enrico Melozzi will be released in spring 2025 on the Berlin Classics label, which recently signed the young guitarist.

Carlotta Dalia began playing the guitar at the age of eight and graduated with distinction in 2017 from the renowned Accademia Chigiana in Siena, where she studied with Oscar Ghiglia. She completed postgraduate studies as a student of Laura Young at the Mozarteum Salzburg in 2022 and has been a D'Addario Artist since 2016. She is supported by Classically Connected, Inc. (formerly Si-Yo Music Foundation) in New York and the Adopt a Musician Foundation in Lugano - the latter also kindly lent her the 1939 Hermann Hauser I guitar that he built for Andrès Segovia. Carlotta Dalia also plays the Matthias Dammann 2023 guitar. She has been a lecturer at the “Gaetano Donizetti” - Politecnico delle Arti di Bergamo since 2024
