95084

First recording of the complete solo guitar music by Matiegka. • Wenzeslaus Matiegka (1773-1830) was born in a small town in Bohemia, at that time part of the Habsburg Monarchy. He studied music with Abbé Gelinek and showed an extraordinary talent for the fortepiano, while at the same time studying law. He became a legal employee at the court of Count Kinsky, an early sponsor of Beethoven. Later he moved to Vienna and became a well known composer, teacher, fortepianist and guitarist. He was highly respected by Beethoven and above all Schubert, who wrote several works for the guitar as well. • Matiegka wrote in the Classical Viennese style of his time: Sonatas, Dances (Menuets and Ländlers), sets of Variations on popular themes, as well as a substantial amount of educational works for teaching purposes: charming and highly melodious music for “Kenner und Liebhaber”. • Played by one of today’s best guitarists, Giulio Tampalini, specialist in this repertoire, having recorded for Brilliant Classics works by Mozzani, Llobet, Tarrega, Paganini and Castelnuovo-Tedesco.
