Perez plays the work just as I would imagine Desderi intended: in a simple, straightforward, disciplined manner, the music all the more appealing for the approach. The four movements are Preludio, Arioso, Scherzo, and Toccata. They are delightful, introspective, tender, and lively by turns.įollowing the Berkeley numbers we have Sonata in mi by the Italian composer Ettore Desderi (1892-1974). Berkeley titled the pieces Moderato ma con brio, Andante on moto, Lento (Mouvement de Sarabande), and Allegro, energico.

It's quite lovely, and it offers Perez the opportunity for some wide contrasts in style and tempo.Īfter those, we find Quatre Pieces pour la guitare from a familiar name, English composer Lennox Berkeley (1903-1989).

It's in three movements labeled Adagio quasi introdustione, molto moderato Allegretto pensoso and Finale. Next, we get Sonatina by the English composer Cyril Scott (1879-1970). The former allows Perez to get things off to a zesty start (and display his dazzling finger work) the latter, a more solemn affair, reminds us just how well the guitarist can shade a piece. The program begins and ends with the Swiss composer Hans Haug (1900-1967), starting with the lighter, showier Etude (Rondo fantastico) and ending with the heavier Passacaglia. Although you won't find any (or if you are a dedicated classical guitar fan, many) familiar pieces here, if you are like me you will find each work entertaining, touching, or enlivening. His guitar opens up each work and expands it seemingly beyond the limits of a single instrument. Perez plays with flair but also with nuance and subtlety. Perez in an earlier review, he does justice to each composer. He goes on to say, "My goal in this recording, as it was in my two previous ones, is to put together a high-quality programme of little-known, or in some cases, almost totally neglected gems excluded from the guitar repertoire, and to bring new life to these works, playing with the conviction that this music requires."Īs I said about Mr. Perez in a booklet note for the present album.

Until then, it had been mainly restricted to music written by guitarists themselves." So writes Mr. His charisma, both as a person and as an artist, was a magnet for composers eager to write music for him, and to give to the guitar a repertoire of the quality available to other classical musicians. "If today we can talk about the guitar as a concert instrument, it is undoubtedly thanks to Andres Segovia (1893-1987).

This is, I believe, the third album in a series of Reference Recordings Fresh! recordings of music dedicated to or commissioned by the virtuoso Spanish guitarist Andres Segovia, the program again performed by guitarist Roberto Moronn Perez. A new recording, made in 2011, evoking the unique athmosphere of Paris at the beginning of the 20-th century, a melting pot of styles, cultures and trends.Roberto Moronn Perez, guitar. Izhar Elias won the coveted Dutch Music prize in 2010, and has since made a number of critically acclaimed recordings, including works by Turino and Guiliani’s arrangement of Rossini’s Semiramede for Brilliant Classics (93902) Features music by Manuel de Falla, Joaquín Rodrigo, Henri Sauguet, Joaquín Turina, Francis Poulenc, Alexandre Tansman and Heitor Villa-Lobos The fascinating repertoire collected together in this unique programme is brought to life by a skilled performance from Izhar Elias, and sheds light on the profound influence that Debussy’s music had on the generation of composers that followed him. The influence of Debussy can also be heard in Villa-Lobos’s Etudes Nos.7 and 12, while Rodrigo and Sauget’s works are tributes to de Falla. This collection of works by seven composers celebrates this unique blend of styles and its realisation in guitar compositions, using Manuel de Falla’s Homenaje (Hommage à Debussy) as a starting point, a musical elegy (or tombeau) composed following Debussy’s death in 1918. His influence on composers such as Manuel de Falla, Hector Villa-Lobos, Joaquín Rodrigo and Joaquín Turina led to a remarkable fusion of French musical language (as developed by Debussy) and Spanish (or Latin American) folk music idioms.

Termed ‘impressionist’, a label the composer never approved of, Debussy’s music (like that of his younger contemporary Ravel) is full of colouristic expression and textures, which held a significant appeal to a younger generation of musicians. In the early 20th century, Paris was a magnet for composers, who were drawn to the city by the powerful influence of Claude Debussy.
