Together, Matteo and Lorenzo have made several recordings, including François de Fossa’s Three Quartets, op. 19 (2004), a CD of 17th Century Italian music for baroque guitar, archlute and theorbo (La Suave Melodia with Massimo Lonardi, 2008), a CD of Arias and Cantatas by Alessandro Scarlatti (Clori, ninfa e amante, 2013), an anthology of 20th Century masterpieces for two guitars (Solaria, 2007), the Duos Concertants by Antoine De Lhoyer (2007), and many more.
They are the editors of the SoloDuo Collection for the Canadian publisher Productions d’Oz.
Matteo resides in Geneva, Switzerland, where he teaches at the Conservatoire Populaire. Lorenzo lives in Milan, Italy, and teaches at the University School of Music in Lugano, Switzerland. Since 2015, they are Artists in Residence at the University of Colorado Boulder.
