""Maestro
Gasbarroni,
You are the guitar hero for couple of generations of Russian
guitarists. You played in Russia in the times when the
guitar was in a deep disfavour and almost forgotten. Better
to say, not yet recovered from the oblivion. Very hard
period; and Your concerts were extremely important. You were
among the few guitarists which were giving us the hope for
the future. I'm really happy to meet You here"" (
Facebook).

Association


Assiociation Italy-USSR
”Moscow guitarists have already heard many foreign virtuoso
of this instrument before, but they were simply astonished
and impressed
by his mastery, by the highly technical skill and his
delicate sensitivity. With Gasbarroni Italy , the homeland
of illustrious musicians, has found another great
Interpreter.”

концерте, дорогой Массимо, в 1971г., в Москве, в зале Дома
Учёных: Вы играли старинную музыку,Большое соло Сора,
Дьявольское каприччио Тедеско...Ваша игра навсегда осталась
в моей памяти и во многом способствовала тому, что я сделал
гитару своей профессией. Спасибо Вам!
Thank you, dear Massimo!
"This concert ( Moscow 1971 ) had a great
influence on me and was stimulus for selection music as my
profession. I’m sure that many guitar players all over the

at the development of the guitar art is so great."
