New Album - Fernando Sor: The Art Of The 19th-century Guitar

[Rob MacKillop]

My new album has just been released - download only from iTunes, Amazon (soon) and CD Baby, where you can hear excerpts.

 

If you like Mozart, Schubert and the guitar, there is a good chance you will love the music of Fernando Sor. 

I use the type of guitar Sor played, a Lacote (by Michael N. of this site), with Aquila gut and silk strings, played, like Sor, with the flesh of the fingers rather than nails, and tried to get as close to Sor's technique as I could. 

I've set the price low!

Does it work now?

[Stuart Walsh]

Yes it works now!

I'll have a listen. I'm sure I will have tried to play some of these pieces (on a modern classical guitar) in the distant past.

[Hans Kockelmans]

Some virtuoso play by Rob, great!

Also a beautiful sound of the guitar by Michael N. Seems a very good instrument to me.

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Hans. Yes, it is a very good instrument. Made my job a lot easier!

I'd like to buy the album but would like to make sure if any uncompressed format (of CD quality) is available.

[Rob MacKillop]

Akira,

There is no CD. It is just a download album. Sorry. Still worth hearing, though :-)

[Akira Sakamoto]

Rob,

thanks for the reply.  I bought the album from CD baby just now.  Thank you for including the Lesson No.32, Op.31which has been one of my favorite since you had post the video on Panormo copy.  :)

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Akira.

[Akira Sakamoto]

My pleasure (literally!).  Sorry for the typo.  I meant Lesson No. "23", Op 31...a nice pair of prime numbers.

[Thomas Schmitt]

Congratulations for your CD. Only some few details I like. Op.35-1: a beautiful phrasing. In this way it should be played - yes. Op.60-3: This IS the perfect guitar sound! Op.31-2: Yes, that must be it: In the second part of the piece for once we can hear the two voices. Very good. Chapeau.

Best, Thomas

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Thomas. Appreciated.
