Cross post from the Listening Thread








This album focuses exclusively on the guitar music from Catalonia. Yepes plays his 10 string guitar very ably as always and gives a very good account of this music as one would expect. I like the recorded sound of the instrument; it is atmospheric and lends to the tone of the music.

Cross post from the Listening Thread as I feel that it is a unique and interesting contribution


John Feeley:


      


I have chosen to listen to Feeley's arrangements of the blind Irish harper Ó Carolan [1670-1738] form the album

Sí beag, Sí mór
Blind Mary
Mrs. Bermingham's Air and Jig
Sir Festus Burke
Bridget Cruise
George Brabazon


Feeley has a very easy, fluid and lyrical style of playing which is well suited to this music.

Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez [Behrend/Peters]





The opening movement is taken at breakneck speed. The tempo of the prayer like second movement is much more conventional and is wonderfully expressive. The final movement is also conventional in its choice of tempo and it is a lively and spirited affair.


Additional comment: The opening movement is taken at the fastest tempo that I have heard.

Torroba [Pomponio/Zárate]


   


Side 1: Trois Nocturnes pour 2 Guitares & Orchestre
Side 2:  7 Pieces pour Duo de Guitares


This is an interesting album with very good playing on it. It is worth seeking out, either physical or streaming.

Good compositions! I was listening to his Concerto of Flamenco and others last week.

My favorite discs. One popular and the other lesser-known.

I was surprised to hear the cool and stylish music from the album with such an un-cool title.
The vol. 3 is better than the vol. 1 or 2.

Choros Do Brasil [played by Turibio Santos]





Music by Pernambuco, Barrios, Reis, de Medeiros, Garoto & Teixeira.


This is all wonderful music that is terrifically played with verve and panache but also always with great integrity.

Turibio Santos is a fine guitarist. Some of his albums are on YT.

The Intimate Guitar 2 [Segovia]

BUMP..

Quote from: Brian on November 17, 2020, 02:52:27 PM


Nobody has mentioned this recent release, probably a third string in the "Guitar Big Box" sweepstakes behind the Julian Bream and John Williams megaboxes. I just bought it, though. It revives the long out-of-print 60s-70s Erato series dedicated to guitar music, including a lot of (then-)contemporary works, played by a bunch of prizewinners from that era, many of whom are no longer especially famous. But when I saw that they hired Leo Brouwer to do three LPs, all included in the box - Brouwer Plays Brouwer, a disc of music by his fellow Cubans, and his transcriptions of Scarlatti - I more or less immediately hit purchase. Brouwer is one of our great living musical minds, in my eccentric opinion.

There is a bonus disc including obligatory Rodrigo concertos for no particular reason; it wasn't part of the original series. 25 CDs for $50, if any guitar or Brouwer megafans are out there. My copy should arrive in 2ish weeks, along with the new Szell/Warner and Hurwitz's recommendation of the Theodore Kuchar Brilliant box.

Has anyone here already mentioned this album?  I found it to be quite enjoyable:



It was recommended to me for the Brouwer concerto in particular.

And only a few days ago my eye was caught by this 12CD set with guitar music from the Spanish Renaissance and Baroque:

I don't know that musician Que.  Have you heard any other recordings by him?
