Por la Gracia de Bach
One of the principal aims for the adaptation of the Suite was to project with maximum clarity the different fibers that form its complex contrapuntal texture. With that in mind, we chose the tonality of C minor (instead of the more typical of A minor) by means of a capo on the third fret; this way, a better projection of the higher harmonics is obtained, something that further enhances the threads of the texture. To counterbalance the slight loss of the low end of the instrument, some of the bass lines were carefully transposed.
Sonatas para Guitarra:
Turina & Antonio José
Antonio José Martínez Palacios, better known as Antonio José was born in Burgos, December 12, 1902 and executed by a Falangist firing squad in 1936 at Estépar (Burgos). His music for guitar like the Sonata (1933) are written works attending the requests of Burgos guitarist Regino Sáinz de La Maza, of whom he was a friend since 1924 and to whom it´s dedicated. The Sonata for guitar, opus 61 is a piece for solo guitar that Joaquín Turina composed in 1930. He began the work on October 24, 1930. Its premiere took place on January 29, 1932 by Andrés Segovia at the Santa Cecilia Academy, of Rome.
Danzas Vienesas
In the halls of Vienna in the second half of the nineteenth century the waltzes of the Strauss dominated the dance floor, along with the polkas, mazurkas among others. Part of the audience looked to reproduce the atmosphere in their homes, to achieve this they acquired scores for piano and also for guitar. As an invitation from Spanish National Radio, José Luis Martínez studies and chooses a series of unpublished waltzes for guitar and records them with an 1890 romantic guitar.
