BAROQUE GUITAR ANTHOLOGIES - press reviews

This is a significant contribution to Baroque literature... teacher and student are the lucky beneficiaries of this great collection. Jens, Stuart and Schott are all to be congratulated. - COLIN TOMMIS, EUROPEAN GUITAR TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

This anthology contains 40 miniatures (studies, character pieces, caprices, etc.) from the classical and Romantic eras through to the 20th century, all of which are original compositions. The charming little pieces are little masterpieces by well-known composers such as Sor, Aguado and Barrios. While most of the pieces are from the catalogue of the renowned publisher of guitar music Chanterelle. The selected pieces are of medium difficulty and technically not hard to play. They are ideal for music lessons, performances and private music-making and also wonderful as encores. This edition contains a detailed English preface with performance instructions for each individual piece.

We proudly present the first publication of Regondi's Feuillet d'album which was found in 2010 by Andreas Stevens. This edition has been prepared from the composer's autograph manuscript and edited by Andreas Stevens and Alberto Mesirca. This is a perfect starting piece for entering into the romantic music of Giulio Regondi.

Isaac Albéniz (1860? 1909) è, senza dubbio, il vero fondatore della musica spagnola moderna.

Bambino prodigioe instancabile viaggiatore, la sua opera è impregnata dei colori e dei saporidella Spagna, paese che ha amato profondamente per tutta la vita. L?influenzadel Flamenco è accertata: Albéniz era un habitué delle taverne dove si cantavae suonava questo genere. ASTURIAS, ispirato dalla Granaína (stile flamenco di Granada) è uno di quei brani che ha superato i confinidella musica prettamente classica, raggiungendo un pubblico planetario.

Questatrascrizione, pur conservando alcune idee geniali di Andrés Segovia (latonalità di Mi minore, le terzine a partire dalla terza frase, gli armonicinella sezione centrale), presenta una scrittura chitarristica più precisa, curatanei minimi particolari e una maggiore coerenza con l?originale. Diteggiature esoluzioni nuove per la mano sinistra danno vita a una partitura fresca, riccadi sonorità inedite.

Isaac Albéniz (1860 - 1909) is, without doubt, the truefounder of modern Spanish music.

Child prodigy and tireless traveler, his works are full of colorsand flavors of Spain, a country he has deeply loved all his life. The influenceof Flamenco is proven: Albéniz was a regular in taverns where this genre wassung and played. ASTURIAS, inspired by the Granaína(flamenco style of Granada) is one of those pieces that went beyond theboundaries of purely classical music, reaching a global audience.

This transcription, while retaining some brilliant ideas ofAndrés Segovia (the key of E minor, the triplets starting from the third phrase,the harmonics in the central section), presents a more precise guitar writing,with attention to the smallest details and greater coherence with the original.New fingerings and solutions for the left hand give life to a fresh score, fullof new sounds.
