Manuel Ponce

[George K]

Hello, newbie here....

I was visiting a friend earlier in the week, and he performed the Prelude and Fugue on a theme of Handel by Ponce' for me (on his Bösendofer Imperial!). I had never heard of this composer, and in searching Amazon, Arkiv, etc., there is woefully little music by him available - at least for piano. He seems to have been primarily a composer for guitar.

Can someone direct me to some of his music?

Thanks..

naxos has some cds of his guitar & guitar+piano music, played by either adam holzman or norbert kraft (i can't remember off the top of my head).

Not sure if you're interested in his guitar music, but there are a couple of volumes on the Naxos label worth considering w/ Adam Holzman on guitar -
