简介

MUSIC BY: VILLA-LOBOS, PIAZZOLLA, BROUWER, BARRIOS, REIS, CARLEVARO and TARREGA. "Emiliano Pardo-Tristán played with so much energy and emotion that the room was filled with the echoes of Latin rhythms." Community Focus (Philadelphia, USA) “Classical Guitar Journey” is an exciting expedition through Latin guitar music, featuring some of the most beloved composers from the region. Each piece is a sojourn that intends to recall echoes of places and resound hidden memories. I feel fortunate to know Venezuelan violinist Luigi Mazzocchi, and to have played for many years with him. Luigi is a versatile musician with whom one always learns something new. I doubt that there is in Philadelphia someone that can render Piazzolla’s “Histoire du Tango” with the same intense emotion as in Luigi’s performance. I am also lucky to have recently met in New York, soprano Anna Noggle. Anna is a singer with a powerful rich voice and the magic ability to accommodate it to the more intimate sound of the guitar. I invite you to join us for an expedition of sounds and rhythms, where the boundaries and passports are your own imagination. I hope you listen to this recording with the same enjoyment we had making it.
