CD Reviews

Beautifully recorded

Leslie Richford | Selsingen, Lower Saxony | 04/24/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This beautifully studio-recorded disc from 1989 was, if I am correctly infomed, Gerald Garcia?s fifth CD for Naxos (following on from ?Concierto de Aranjuez?, ?Brazilian Portrait?, ?Latin American Guitar Festival? and ?Baroque Guitar Favourites?). It contains some of the ?prettiest? music for classical guitar that I have ever heard, although I should add in the same breath that there is, in fact, no music for classical guitar at all on the disc ? all the pieces here recorded are transcriptions of music for violin solo (Paganini?s Caprices), for violin and guitar (Paganini?s Grand Sonata), for piano (Mendelssohn?s Songs Without Words) and for voice and piano (Schubert?s Lieder). The Paganini and Mendelssohn appear to have been transcribed by Garcia himself, whereas the Schubert was congenially adapted for the instrument by Johann Kaspar Mertz, a 19th century Bohemian guitarist. The title of the CD, ?Romantic Guitar Favourites?, is therefore a complete misnomer, but that in no way affects the enjoyment to be had from listening to what, to my non-expert ears at any rate, is some excellent guitar-playing in first-rate audio quality. The notes, written by Gerald Garcia himself, are brief but informative."
