World-renowned guitarist William Carter presents an appealing collection of works by Spanish guitar virtuoso and composer Fernando Sor, a much-anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed Early Works recording of 2010 (named Gramophone Editor’s Choice). Sor’s late works demonstrate highly elaborate structures and technique which tested even the finest students and pushed the boundaries of the instrument. This second collection showcases some of Sor’s most commercially popular works with as much appeal for listeners today as for the original cosmopolitan audiences. William Carter employs a performance practice endorsed by Sor himself - playing with the finger tips, creating an intimate and unforgettable sound. A founding-member of the famous Palladian Ensemble, Carter has a deserved reputation as one of the finest classical guitarists with critically acclaimed performances as an orchestral player, chamber musician and soloist. William Carter is a member of The Academy of Ancient Music, The English Concert and Palladians and is well known as a regular performer at Early Music Festivals. His passion for the baroque guitar enthuses his playing with a freshness and vitality, coupled with faultless technique. “His mastery of the idiom is such that we only notice the music’s salon-like gentleness and intimacy, not the dextrous technique required to make it so.” Financial Times, 25th June 2011 **** “Played on the fingertips, Carter's gracefully shaped recital takes its title from the Opus 50 Caprice pour guitar seul, an idyll pitched on the cusp of Romanticism.” The Independent on Sunday, 10th July 2011 “Carter always combines an improvisational exuberance with an intense inwardness that is even more pronounced on this disc...one has the impression that one is hearing Sor's true voice, in autumnal raiment, for the first time, the sublime economy and nascent romanticism of the writing growing in significance thanks to the delicate colours afforded by this guitar's lighter construction...My disc of the year so far.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

“In these charming menuets and studies...William Carter follows the composer's directions, playing with his fingerpads. The sound is intimate and nostalgic, even in the Opus 14 Grand Solo, with the closing harmonics of the Opus 3 Menuet in G acting as a chaste farewell kiss.” The Independent on Sunday, 14th February 2010 “It is quite possibly the first attempt to recreate an authentic performance by the celebrated guitar virtuoso and composer, Fernando Sor...Carter has done scholarly service to the study of the early guitar in this fascinating collection of minuets, variations and studies.” The Observer, 14th February 2010 “The use of an instrument which is lighter and smaller than a modern classical instrument...results in a delicate yet surprisingly broad range of tones and colours…This, together with Carter's refined musicianship and trademark dynamic shading shows the selection of Sor's minuets to be so much more than merely well-crafted salon music. Superb.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2010 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. (Available now to download.) |
