In 2012 CARisMA released their debut Album ‘Confessions’, which featured film music from ‘Chocolat’ by Rachel Portman, alongside a selection of jazz and classical standards. In June 2014 CARisMA embarked on their first solo tour in China, performing at some of the most prestigious concert halls in the country, such as, the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center, Tianjin Grand Theatre, Beijing Concert Hall, Qintai Concert Hall, Xinghai Concert Hall, to mention a few. The collaboration with the beloved Tenor led the duo to perform at some of the world’s most famous venues such as the Madison Square Garden in New York, the O2 Arena in London, the Mercedes Benz Arena in Shanghai, the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, the Telenor Arena in Oslo, the Paolo Sixth Concert Hall in the Vatican City, the iTunes Festival in London (which was broadcasted worldwide with over 120 million viewers) among many others. CARisMA is the first and only artist to ever perform as an opening act for Andrea Bocelli. He invited the duo to perform on his tours around the world. The duo is recognized for their outstanding arrangements and compositions as a result from their innovative way of playing the classical guitar.ĬARisMA’s art has garnered much attention by Andrea Bocelli, who was astonished by their arrangement and performance of the Overture from ‘The Barber of Seville’ by Gioachino Rossini. The fingers of the duo chisel complex sound statues like Michelangelo’s, enriched with fast cascades of notes that then slow down in a flutter, to settle then in a clear harmonious pond, where sensitive melodies are floating, in which each note seems to have been written on the pentagram with the sensitive ink of the heart.ĬARisMA, poetry in music where beauty, harmony and sensitivity are narrated in prose by two guitars…it is impossible not to feel moved by all this.ĬARisMA is the fusion between the remarkable classical guitarists Magdalena Kaltcheva and Carlo Corrieri.Īfter successful careers as soloists, the two decided to expand their repertoire and merge their unique sound and musicality into CARisMA. This is the power of music, a universal language that can communicate straight with our souls, that leads us to leaf, through the sense of hearing, the pages that give shape to the canon of beauty. The ambitious research of the proportio aurea through music mathematics masterfully melts with the sophistication of the duo arrangements, and through a sublime technique that never exaggerates, that never is an end in itself, excites and makes all of us dream, without any distinction. This intonation, which was the characteristic of the greatest exponent of Italian Opera, Giuseppe Verdi, paints the notes in a mother of pearl nuance and in a silky softness so that when they come out from their guitars they seem as if they had been dipped into the moonlight, by which were influenced the most intimate and inspired auteur melodies. In a certain way the sound canvases painted by this duo collect the works of the Renaissance Maestros, if the latter were in search of the golden proportion through the balance of the form, also CARisMA are looking for it through an immortal intonation, like the one with the A at 432 hertz. CARisMA seem to pass through the gates of time and their music seems a bridge over infinity, which projects the past into the future, where classical music wears the majestic and metaphysical robes of its past, albeit enriched by sonic and conceptual elements pertaining to our times. The music of CARisMA, made of colorful embroidered arabesques and delicate arpeggios as soft as butterfly wings, can be the perfect sound track of those magic instants we call life. “There are magic instants when the beauty of the moment can only be perceived and told by ethereal and timeless sounds.”
