This recording not only presents Israel Sharon's music for guitar of the last decade but also celebrates 25 years of close musical collaboration with guitarist Hanan Feinstein. During this time the two artists established a true musical partnership – a fusion of the composer's ideas and style with the performer's musical personality. This long-standing collaboration has enabled Israel Sharon to explore the guitar's multiple facets: the melodic, polyphonic and timbre qualities; its enormous potential as a chamber music instrument; and the variety of styles in which the guitar can be comfortably incorporated. This has resulted in numerous works composed for guitar as solo or as chamber music instrument. The Seven Etudes for Guitar, composed between 2006 and 2013, could be regarded more as "etudes de concert" than as etudes in the simple meaning of the word. Each etude deals with at least two aspects, one technical and the other musical, and explores the possibilities of each. The result is a set of seven "character pieces" that might stand for a "microcosmos" of the guitaristic expression. The Hommage to Paco de Lucia was composed in the winter of 2014, several weeks after the sudden death of the great flamenco guitarist. The work displays flamenco influences in general and the style of de Luca in particular, but above all, the present homage reflects Sharon's admiration of Paco's unique musical and spiritual personality. The work is written in four expressive movements. The 1st and 3rd movements are structured as an invention which uses imitations and development of several motives. The 2nd and 4th movements are more freely structured and are closer to Spanish flamenco atmosphere. The "Variations, Incantations and Dance" for guitar and piano was composed in 2010. The variations were first conceived as a reflection on DADA themes. The idea of the main theme is derived from Satie's peculiar musical expression - the potentially endless repetitions of the theme which seemingly lead nowhere despite the use of ordinary triads. The rest of the movements were added later and designed to release the tension that was built in the variations. The two Bartolomeo del Canto Fantasies for solo guitar and the Four Pieces for Viola and Guitar are all excerpts from the Don Quixote Monodrama for Narrator, Guitar, and Viola. The two solo guitar pieces follow the typical polyphonic chain-form of the Renaissance lute fantasy. Each one of the short pieces for viola and guitar relates to a specific scene from the Don Quixote story and depicts the special character of Cervantes' tragicomic hero.
