The brothers Eduardo and Regino Sáinz de la Maza made significant contributions to the great lineage of Spanish guitar music in the 20th century (Regino’s compositions are on 8.572977). This selection of Eduardo’s music reflects his technical and expressive breadth, whether in the magical tremolo study Campanas del alba (‘The Bells of Dawn’) or in the series of romantic and virtuosic homages paid to Haydn, Toulouse-Lautrec and his own instrument, the guitar. Platero y yo (‘Platero and I’), a sequence of eight pieces narrating the activities of the donkey Platero, celebrates the beauty of nature, irradiated by glorious colour, and is one of his greatest masterpieces. ● Albums dedicated to Eduardo Sainz de la Maza’s guitar works are rare on the market. The first track on this release, Habanera, is included in Steve Kostelnik’s Guitar Laureate recital disc on 8.554214. ● Guitarist José Antonio Escobar has been awarded numerous prizes in leading international guitar competitions, including First Prize and the Special Audience Prize at the Francisco Tárrega International Guitar Competition in Benicàssim, Spain. ● Escobar has recorded several releases on Naxos, the latest is Joaquim Homs’ works for solo guitar and guitar duo with Àlex Garrobé (8.573855), which The WholeNote declared as a ‘fascinating disc.’ He has also recorded guitar music from Colombia (8.573059) and Chile (8.5703410), and the first book of Luys Milán’s El Maestro performed on vihuela (8.573305).
