A short history of the guitar in the 19th century performed on original instruments, Serenade rediscovers a host of authentic compositions and arrangements from an era that is now considered a turning point in the guitars developmental history. As well as original works by Francisco Tárrega and Niccolo Paganini, the disc includes two fascinating authentic arrangements of Schubert Lieder by players of the era – Tárrega and Johann Kaspar Mertz.
Description
What people are saying
“A Truly Wonderful Performance…” Guitar Review
“A Unique Recording.” Gramophone
“It offers a rare opportunity to experience Tárrega’s own compositions alongside those of two premier league names – a stern test from which Tárrega emerges virtually unscathed. This is due in no small measure to the performance, which is tidy, sensitive, and schmaltz-free.” Classical Guitar Magazine
