Turibio Santos - guitar

Here is a collection of various guitar pieces, some arranged for the guitar and some composed specifically for the instrument. I posted some of Villa-Lobos' guitar music a little while back (link here), but most of the composers on this release were unknown to me. There is quite a mix of styles here - some are Bach-like in textures and progressions, while others are gentle and sweeping (especially the Granados piece, which was originally written for piano and is incredibly lovely), and still others exude the sensual, dance-like rhythm of Spanish orient. It is very easy, enjoyable listening. A little more information on the performer...

"One of the most important Brazilian classical guitar performers, Turíbio Santos has recorded over 40 LP's, deserving a special mention his efforts to bring popular music, and specifically the choros by João Pernambuco, to the realm of classical execution. Son of an amateur guitarist, Santos started at the guitar at three, and, after he was ten, he took as his mentor Oscar Cáceres. Debuting in 1962 in a concert in São Luís (Maranhão), he performed in Rio de Janeiro in the same year, meeting Arminda Villa-Lobos (Heitor Villa-Lobos' second wife), by whose request he recorded Villa-Lobos' 12 studies for guitar. In the next year Santos realized the world debut of Villa-Lobos' Sexteto Místico."

Léandro Carvalho - Guitar

“A unique tribute to 19th century Brazil, this CD also counts on the participation of the young and talented guitarist Leandro Carvalho” LEARN MORE…

In 19th century Europe, many activities of music transcription took place, especially of symphonic pieces for solo instruments. Ference Liszt was among the people who made transcriptions for piano, and they were considered major music works. But it was Francisco Tárrega the man who led the activity of transcription for acoustic guitar in the period. That was certainly a hard task, because that instrument demands rich and detailed music writing, requiring a very fine technique.

The purpose of this CD is exactly to present transcriptions to acoustic guitar of Brazilian composer’s works. Such transcriptions are by Turíbio himself, Leandro Carvalho and by Sérgio Barboza.

The opera “O Guarani”, a milestone in Brazilian culture, as well as the “Suíte Quilombo”, which are works by composer Carlos Gomes, sound gorgeous on the guitar. On the other hand, the track “Batuque”, by the composer “Henrique Alves de Mesquita”, shows all the music power of the instrument. But perhaps nothing can be compared to the beautiful arrangements by Turíbio Santos’ to “Abre-Alas”, “Gaúcho” and “Atraente”, which display all the joy and richness of the work of Chiquinha Gonzaga.

Leandro Carvalho, in turn, translates to guitar all the splendour of Ernesto Nazareth’s music. Just listen to the tracks “Odeon”, “Brejeiro”, “Batuque”, “Apanhei-te, Cavaquinho”, “Tenebroso”, “Floraux” and “Escovado”!

Turibio Santos is considered by international critics and music experts as one of the best classical guitarists of today. --- onerpm.com
