Edward MacDowell (1860-1908) was the first American composer to achieve an international reputation. His music is lyrical intimate uncluttered and with a unique and quickly recognizable harmonicpalette.MacDowell's music does not aim for virtuosic display and obscure intellectual pleasures but rather it is about what is personal and what is felt by the individual in common circumstances. The ClassicalGuitar is at its best with music of smaller proportions that is personal evocative and imbued with opportunities for subtle expressive nuances in performance and so is eminently suited to MacDowell's music.Thiscollection includes his most famous composition To a Wild Rose as well as ten other beautiful Guitar solos in both standard notation and tablature. An outstanding recording by Aryeh Eller of all of the music isincluded.
