Best Classical Guitar Cd (2025 Update)

This new release from brilliant is the most extensive guitar collection available. this set spans several centuries of guitar music: from the baroque period where the guitar gained preference over its ancestor the lute, to the classical period in which the instrument was emancipated and gained its rightful place as a serious concert instrument, through spain, its country of origin, right into the twentieth century where famous composers extended its sonic possibilities to the very borders of the spectrum. what lies within this release is a treasure trove of unprecedented scope and substance, for both connoisseur and music lover, performed by world class guitarists. among these guitarists are paganini expert luigi attademo, cristiano porqueddu who is currently preparing his carnegie hall debut, frederic ziganti, giulio tampalini, and many more. there are numerous world premiere recordings here, of works both modern and older, thanks to recent rediscoveries. the guitars used range from carefully crafted modern instruments to period instruments, including the sabionari guitar by antonio stradivari.

Friedemann wuttke studied at the musikhochschule in stuttgart and completed his musical education in master classes given by internationally celebrated soloists such as john williams, manuel barrueco, pepe romero, david russell and eduardo fernndez. wuttke has always placed great value on fruitful collaboration with leading artists. he met repeatedly with the great spanish composer joaquin rodrigo, for instance; he was a guest in his house in madrid and discussed questions of music with him. rodrigo was greatly impressed by wuttke's interpretation of "fantasia para un gentil hombre" in particular and expressly praised the guitarist. wuttke's friendship with the great russian pianist igor zhukov was of great importance for his career. years of work with zhukov's "new moscow chamber orchestra" expressed itself in numerous joint concerts in russia, germany, austria and switzerland. there were also a number of recordings, for which zhukov was responsible. over and above this, zhukov was a mentor to friedemann wuttke, and the guitarist engaged with him intensively not only on tours but also at his home in moscow. thanks to his eminent instrumental and musical qualities, satisfying the highest demands, wuttke soon won an established place in the front rank of german guitar playing. his uncompromising commitment to the classical repertoire and his well-thought-out program planning are characteristic of a musician always open to new ideas and challenges. behind all the versatility stands a musician who not only loves his instrument and his music but is passionately committed to communicating that love of music to his audiences. friedemann wuttke's concert activities have taken him to most of the countries of europe and to south-east asia, africa and south america, where he has often performed in great concert halls, both as soloist and with an orchestra.

The guitar gained international acceptance as a classical instrument only in the 20th century. in that time, however, few musicians achieved a reputation for utter mastery of the instrument equal to that of john williams. this collection of bright moments from his illustrious career includes music from throughout the world, each highlighting an aspect of williams' brilliance. while some of the works included in this album may be novelties for williams, listeners will no doubt be familiar with them. the traditional tune 'romance' is often performed by guitar students, but rarely with the delicacy found here. simon and garfunkel fans will recognize the peruvian folksong, "el condor pasa," but will delight in williams' performance of this arrangement. revisiting williams' classic recordings is an equal treat. the passion of the tango swells in piazzolla's 'verano porteo,' and the bright, dexterous fingerwork required in york's 'sunburst' shows why williams is recognized as one of the guitar's great masters. whether performing solo or with a full orchestra, williams brings out the sweetness, power and lyricism of his instrument.

Best guitar 100 is part of emi's "best 100" series, begun in 2006, with six discs covering the highlights of the classical guitar repertoire from the renaissance to the modern era, written specifically for the instrument or transcribed for it. one advantage of this set over others in the series is that there are no excerpts of excerpts (i.e., partial movements from sonatas and concertos); only whole movements and complete works are found here. on the other hand, the music in this set isn't completely grouped chronologically as it is in other entries. there is one disc devoted to music of the renaissance and baroque and one of modern music, but three of the other discs bundle the music geographically (spain and latin america). one disc is devoted to the music of the much-honored, blind, spanish composer joaquin rodrigo and includes complete performances of his popular concierto de aranjuez and fantasia para un gentilhombre. other well-known works found here are a transcription of jesu, joy of man's…

David russell, recognised for his "evident mastery" of the spanish guitar repertoire, releases a new album featuring distinctive works by master isaac albeniz. with movements from the critically-acclaimed doce piezas caracteristicas and the picturesque cantos de espana to enchanting, gypsy-inspired dances like the zambra granadina, the album celebrates the best of albeniz' oeuvre, including works originally composed for other instruments. "the magic in albeniz' spanish melodies is unsurpassed. many of his pieces sound so good on the guitar that it is amazing that they were not written for our instrument," says russell. "i am sure that he had the sound of the guitar in the back of his mind, while he was writing them." winner of the 2005 grammy award for best instrumental soloist, guitarist david russell is recognized worldwide for his superb musicianship and inspired artistry. lauded by the new york times for his "talent of extraordinary dimension," russell has appeared regularly at prestigious halls in main cities, such as new york, london, tokyo, los angeles, madrid, toronto or rome. since 1995, he has recorded exclusively for telarc international, with which he has recorded sixteen cds, among them the grammy – winning aire latino. named a fellow of the royal academy of music in london in 1997, russell has also won the medal of honor from the conservatory of the balearics, along with numerous international competitions, including the andres segovia competition , the jose ramirez competition and spain's prestigious francisco tarrega competition . in 2009, russell was named honorary member of "amigos de la guitarra", the oldest guitar society in spain, and both a street in es migjorn, minorca, and an auditorium at the music conservatory of vigo have been named after him. the town of nigran, where he resides, awarded russell a silver medal in recognition of his 2005 grammy win.

The music of francisco tarrega, mostly consisting of short pieces composed for his own use, has never quite gotten the respect accorded to other spanish guitar composers from around the turn of the last century. but, well played, his works transcend their salon context, and no one could claim he didn't have a way with a tune. sample the gran vals, track 27, and wait until the statement of the first theme is ending; you'll hear something extremely familiar and may wonder whether tarrega's heirs have ever realized any money on the deal. there are various recordings of the recuerdos de la alhambra (track 22) and of a few other pieces as well. this one, by swedish guitarist mats bergstrom, uses a copy of an instrument (it seems to have modern strings, however) owned by tarrega himself. it's lovely in the recuerdos de la alhambra and in the short, limpid polkas, waltzes, and other dances that are sprinkled through the program.
