Description
Fernando Sor was a genial Basque virtuoso on the guitar, and he had no equals when it came to combining finely crafted idiomatic music with inexhaustible creative fantasy – thus substantially expanding the technical limits of his instrument. Sor's ninety-seven études published in five volumes represent the musical legacy of an all-time great musician. MDG is now rereleasing its CD bestseller featuring twenty-four Sor études in interpretations by Frank Bungarten, one of the most distinguished guitarists of our times.
"Frank Bungarten's way with Sor's etudes has grown on me ... Bear in mind in a previous review, I have marked reservations about this disc, yet, now Bungarten's recital finally shows the depth and diversity of Sor´s etudes." - Fanfare
