[…] Lagoya and the pair became one of the most celebrated duos in classical guitar, perhaps overshadowing her solo accomplishments. Argentinian-born Maria Luisa Anido (1907-1996) drew inspiration for much of her music from the folk tunes and idioms of South America. "Maria Luisa Anido was for me a revelation. The impression it produced to me I’ll never be able to erase from my mind.…it is something that surpasses all that is imaginable", renowned guitar virtuoso Miguel Llobet said. Like Presti, her talents were recognized early, and her early career guided by her guitarist father. But it was only after the death of her parents that Anido was able to travel more extensively and perform in prominent venues worldwide. Rojas disc, Legado is available online [Link Tree]

For me, the music of Spain can be so mesterious and romantic. This recording will surely capture this mood for you in one or more of its many selections: Alma Espanola Falla: Siete Canciones populares españolas Granados: Danza española, Op. 37 No. 5 ‘Andaluza’, arr. Llobet Lara, Augustin: Granada Lorca: Canciónes (13) españolas antiguas: El café de Chinitas Canciónes (13) españolas antiguas: Las morillas de Jaén Canciónes (13) españolas antiguas: Anda, jaleo Canciónes (13) españolas antiguas: Romance de Don Boyso Canciónes (13) españolas antiguas: Zorongo Canciónes (13) españolas antiguas: Nana de Sevilla Canciónes (13) españolas antiguas: La Tarara Canciónes (13) españolas antiguas: Los mozos de Monleón Canciónes (13) españolas antiguas: Sevillanas del Siglo XVIII Montsalvatge: Canción negra No. 5, Canto negro Canción negra No. 4, Cancion de cuna para dormir a un negrito Rodrigo: […]

[…] Lauro’s El Marabino – a wonderful foot-tapping little waltz, with just the right smattering of rubarto, without becoming trite or “obvious”, if you catch my meaning. The recording is rounded out by a delightful Brazilian number Jongo by Paulo Bellinati, with some absolutely fab percussive sounds. Love it! But for all of the wonderfully energetic renditions on Joie de Vivre my favourite has to be the lullingly soothing interpretation of the traditional (arranged by Miguel Llobet) El Noi de la Mare (which rather aptly translates as Mother’s Child). A case in point that a guitarist doesn’t have to present the flashiest, most technically challenging piece to demonstrate mastery of the instrument, allowing the music to speak through the delivery of a sensitively shaped melody, divine phrasing and full harmonies with beautiful tone. All in all, Joie de Vivre is a wonderful recording – a delight of tonal variation, energetic flow […]

[…] fact Oremus was written 15 days before Tárrega died. It’s quite choral in character, quite nice. Then more Tárrega with Recuerdos de la Alhambra. The Carnival of Venice Variations I’ve also been working on – more Tárrega. So quite a bit of Tárrega in there. Also three transcriptions by Manuel de Falla. One of them is the The Song of the Will-O-The Wisp, The Fisherman’s Song and The Miller’s Dance. Three Catalan Folksongs (arr. Miguel Llobet), Scherzo Waltz by Llobet as well, Fandanguillo by Joachim Turina and then two Italians then snuck into the mix, but they’re vaguely Spanish pieces, so I am sort of justifying their existence. So one of them is Domenico Scarlatti, the scholars say his music was influenced by the sound of the flamenco guitar, so I’m playing a couple of Sonata transcriptions by him. Not the particularly well known ones though I’d say, so K175 […]
