Andres Segovia Archive: Grand Finale
The fourth and final volume in this important series! This new album showcases outstanding performances of works that are fundamental milestones of the guitar repertoire of the 20th century. The genesis for this unique project is a collection of pieces recovered in May 2001 at Segovias archive in Spain. These pieces were dedicated to Segovia or commissioned by him, involving composers from eight countries. They were subsequently published as "The Segovia Archive Series" by Edizione Musicale Bèrben. Prez states: "At the beginning of the 20th century, the way of thinking about music changed. It is within this investigation that the expressive potential of the guitar was rediscovered. The compelling charisma and virtuosity of Andrs Segovia (1893-1987) helped to stimulate non--guitarist composers to write music for him, resulting in a significant increase in the instruments repertoire. Many of these works were featured in concerts and recordings throughout his career. Additionally, many more languished in the Andrs Segovia Archive, a collection of recently discovered works among Segovias private papers which were not made public until some years after his death
