Volume 5 of Segovia’s 1950s American recordings includes music by composers of various nationalities, (Italian, Spanish, Polish, Argentinian, Venezuelan, and Swiss), demonstrating the international appeal of the guitar.
The diversity of musical styles featured is considerable, ranging from the folkloric appeal of South America to the more esoteric inwardness of European composers. Of particular interest is Segovia’s performance with a string quartet of the great Italian composer, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Capriccio diabolico, one of the most successful examples of the synthesis of plucked and bowed sonorities. “…there have been…few to rival the variety and beauty of the sounds [Segovia] produced…he was certainly the guitar's most powerful advocate, the ultimate 'effective guitarist' who opened doors for all those who followed” Gramophone on a previous release by Segovia “Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Tansman dominate the latest volume in this splendid series. It's a particular pleasure to hear Segovia play with the string quartet in Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Quintet.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
