Albeniz's?Asturias?has become one of the most important works of the classical Guitar repertoire however it was originally written for for the solo Piano.Despite its misleading title which refers to the northern Spanish region of Asturias and was given to it posthumously by the German publisher Hofmeister this virtuoso piece is pure Andalusian flamenco. The main theme mimics the Guitar technique of alternating the thumb and fingers of the right hand while the ???marcato???/'staccato??? markings suggest the footwork of a flamenco dancer.Another flamenco style the malague?a is detectable inthe middle section.After a short return to the theme the piece concludes in a slow ???hymn-like???passage.Noted for the delicate intricate melody of its middle section and abrupt dynamic changes this challenging piece is a favourite welcome by musicians and audiences alike!

For the first time this edition presents work for Guitar solo and for Guitar duet by Graciano Tarragó grouped into different collections. Despite the fact that the composer published the set of works separately (with the exception of the collections of studies and the Catalan Christmas songs) it is not difficult to see that a natural classification surges from its formal structure from its source of inspiration and from its intent upon observing the works as a whole.The main objective of this revision was to update its presentation to meet the demands of the Guitar world today and to offer scores that ease the introduction to the study of this copious collectionof works. The works hold an indisputable musical beauty and demand technical virtuosic knowledge of the highest level.

Par MACHADO CELSO. Guitariste virtuose et percussionniste, Celso Machado offre au public une musique exaltante, subtil mélange d'inspiration musicale et de rythme irrésistible. Il est aujourd'hui internationalement reconnu comme l'un des interprètes/compositeurs de musique brésilienne les plus polyvalents et originaux. Depuis plus de 30 ans, Celso Machado joue, enregistre et enseigne la guitare à travers le Brésil, l'Europe occidentale et le Canada. Né en 1953 à Ribeirao Presto, Sao Paulo (Brésil) au sein d'une famille de musiciens, Celso, tout comme ses frères, a hérité de la tradition musicale paternelle : un pied dans le classique, un autre dans la musique populaire brésilienne. La musique traditionnelle brésilienne est née au carrefour des influences africaine, portugaise et indigène : si les oeuvres de Celso Machado plongent leurs racines dans une profonde connaissance de cet héritage rythmique et mélodique, elles reflètent également l'irréductible fascination de Celso pour les autres musiques du monde. Celso a enregistré avec beaucoup d'artistes canadiens, brésiliens et européens mais a également produit de nombreux enregistrements solos. Son disque Varal, enregistré en 1997, ainsi que Jongo Lê, enregistré en 1999, ont été nommés au Canadian Juno Awards dans la catégorie 'Meilleur enregistrement' - sa partition, composée pour le film documentaire In the Company of Fear a remporté un Leo Award tandis qu'en 1999, sa composition pour A Place Called Chiapas a été également nommée pour la catégorie 'Meilleure partition musicale de film documentaire'. Celso Machado réside à Vancouver, en Colombie britannique (Canada.) / classique / Date parution : 2010-12-29/ Répertoire / Guitare
