Marco Musso plays Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco: El sueño de la razón produce monstruos

I find this video really wonderful. Marco, 23 years old from Italy, plays a guitar made by Roberto De Miranda (Italy). Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, capricho XVIII. El sueño de la razón produce monstruos (The sleep of reason produces monsters) (Capricho No. 43, Goya). Among Goya’s most famous images, this has been considered as one of the artist’s self-portraits. The man, either sleeping or dreaming (sueño in Spanish carries both meanings), is surrounded by evil-looking owls, a sinister lynx with pointed ears, and bat-like creatures. The music takes the form of a short Chaconne with five variations.
