As a performer in the field of the early music, Grafenauer has carried out a number of solo projects, one of the first ones was the release of Preludio on Divya records in 2018. The CD contains works by Silvius Leopold Weiss and Adam Falckenhagen.
In addition to solo playing, chamber music is also an important part of his work. He leads the international group Cuerdas al Pasado (Strings of the Past), where he is researching music from the Renaissance, Baroque and the transition to the Classical period. They dedicate themselves to recreating music, where the guitar or lute is treated either as an equal instrument, or as a solo instrument in front of an orchestra or the chamber group.
Among his latest high-profile projects is a program with music composed by the composers Santiago de Murcia and Luigi Boccherini. Both worked at the Spanish court, Santiago de Murcia under the patronage of Maria Luisa of Savoy, and Luigi Boccherini about 60 years later under Luiz Antonio of Spain, the younger brother of Spanish King Charles III. Both composers are strongly influenced by Spanish folk music, which they imployed in their own composicions which makes an intriguing and lively program to listen and perform.
