Oh, neat!  I'll have to see what is on it.

It's basically their two duo albums repackaged as a 2-CD set.

Discogs has the track listing:

The box looks great and very good selection. It seems to me somehow his performances sound greater and more atmospheric in mono recordings.

Berkeley: Guitar Concerto [Bream/Gardiner]





This is, I find, a very fine Guitar Concerto. The concerto is essentially discursive in tone; it is sometimes ruminative and sometimes argumentative. Either way, it is always worth listening to it. The slow movement is noticeably lean in its notation but this simplicity is rather compelling, I find. The orchestral accompaniment is always appropriate throughout.

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Fingers are flying. Great technique for octaves, pedal-note, arpeggios, etc. Amazing performance.

I have the Pepe Romero set of Giuliani's Guitar Concertos.
That looks like an interesting CD, Manabu. I will look out for it.

Giuliani: Guitar Concerto No. 3 [Pugliese/Ensemble Ottocento]





I recently enjoyed listening to Pepe Romero's presentation of Giuliani's Guitar Concerto No. 1.
This time I gave Paolo Pugliese's presentation of Giuliani's Guitar Concerto No. 3 another listen.

This is another fine Guitar Concerto. The big and obvious difference between Romero's presentation and that of Pugliese's is the use of period instruments throughout. In truth there is not a significant difference in the overall sound between the two orchestras, particularly in the tuttis. The big difference is the sound between the two guitars used. Pugliese's instrument is from around c. 1880. It has a light, delicate, mellow sound and texture. The best way that I can describe it is that it sounds somewhere between a lute and a harp. I like the mellow guitar sound a lot and I also like this very engaging set.
