Born in Torino in 1967, Alfredo Franco experiences several non-classical musical contexts in his youth before studying classical guitar; he subsequently deepens his musical competences in the historical and critical fields at the Dams faculty of the Universtiy of Turin (Department for Art, Music and Theatre). The choice to abandon the concert activity leads to the decision to study composition, which has been his primary commitment in the recent years and gets concrete in the writing of a series of guitar works performed and recorded by valuable interpreters (Cristiano Porqueddu, Alberto Mesirca, Duo Giulio Tampalini and Joanna Klisowska, Marcello Rivelli, Ermanno Brignolo, Leonardo de Marchi, Sergio Sorrentino, Duo Giri, Duo Scarlatti, Giacomo Palazzesi) and released on CD (Cahier des chansons anciennes nn. 1 e 2, Marcello Rivelli, Ermanno Brignolo – dotguitar; Music from a parallel world vol. 4, Sergio Sorrentino - Map).
Seicorde (luglio-settembre 2013)
... vengono rivisitate in modo sobrio e mai banale dodici canzoni che rappresentano uno spaccato della devozione popolare, delle storie e delle leggende ... Un lavoro ben costruito e molto raffinato.
Guitart n. 70 (aprile-giugno 2013)
... Le sue Chansons sono dei veri e propri gioielli di equilibrio. La scelta raffinata dei timbri chitarristici, la polifonia diafana e misurata, sono alcune delle caratteristiche principali di queste miniature. Franco riesce a far ‘cantare’ la chitarra evocando mondi sommersi e tempi perduti. Da questo antico quaderno emergono ricordi misteriosi e mai pesanti che ci trasportano in un’atmosfera di pura poesia ... un raro esempio di compostezza formale e poetica ... (Sergio Sorrentino)
Classical Guitar Magazine (02-2013)
... The pieces are essentially re-writes, not merely straight harmonisations of folk tunes, and harmonically have a knack of sounding very old (plenty of modal harmonisations) and yet utterly modern at the same time (lots of oddclashing harmonies and other modernisms) ... they are emotionally driven pieces and I am sure that players wanting something with a certain spark of originality will find these works more than intriguing.
