Thanks Lars. I am very interested in Molino, and I wonder if you play this Sonata from the opus 6 printed in Leipzig by Breitkopf & Härtel, 1812-13. That is the version that is also edited by Götze for Schott. But it seems that opus 6 was also published in Paris, by Gambaro, probably 1818-19. Perhaps that edition was rather different: on Youtube Eric Barrientos plays the first movement of the first Sonata with a lot of variant notes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3r0aNZx_dw&feature=related). I would love to hear if anyone happens to know something about that Paris edition of opus 6.

I totally agree with You Scot. I better get my videocamera started with all those people looking foreward to the next two movements :-)

I know what you mean Lars. The Romero guitar family have had a big influence on classical guitar in North America (especially the West coast of America) and have created a style uniquely their own. It's a style very appropriate for some things but doesn't always transfer well to period music. But that's the case with modern guitar no matter who the player, IMO.

 

Pepe also has a wonderful collection of original 19th century guitars (Lacotes, Panormos, etc.). I think it's a shame he doesn't perform or record on some of them but maybe as you say it's not his forte.

 

However, I am thankful to him for recording the Molino and Carulli Concertos even if the modern instrument might not be the best instrument for it. To my knowledge no one else has recorded these works so I think we are lucky to have what we do.

 

I'm looking forward to the other movements of the Molino Op. 6 #1, as well.

Scot. I do know this concerto, I remember hearing Pepe Romeo playing it when I started playing the classical guitar. I must say I wasnt that impressed with his playing, and I'm still not impressed. Its clear that he dosent know how to play this kind of music, Sorry to say it. I hope I dont offend somebody by saying it. But I would very much like to play it sometime, but in Denmark there isnt taht many people who play historical instrument.

Well, you manage to make the most of it. It ain't Sor, but it's worth hearing. Looking forward to the other movements!

For some reason the link doesn't seem to work. Type "Guitar Concerto Op. 56, Francesco Molino" into google and it should be the first up.

Here is a new project for you Lars. The Concerto in E minor, Op. 56  by Molino.  In this case it's played by Pepe Romero and the Academy of St. Martin in the fields but I know it will sound even better on your Lacote.

Not to pressure you, but we will be expecting your videorecording of the First movement by the end of the month.

Tanks Jelma. I'll be videorecording the rest of this sonata ( movement 1 & 3 ) in the following days. Its actually quiet nice music as Scot mentioned

Very very nice, thanks!

Thank You Scot. And Your're totally right. Molino deserves more attention.
