Eduardo Fernandez presents a captivating collection of Spanish classical guitar pieces on his album "Guitar Recital," released in 1986 under Decca Music Group Ltd. This 51-minute journey through the rich tapestry of Spanish music showcases Fernandez's exceptional skill and deep connection to the genre.
The album opens with a tribute to the renowned composer Francisco Tárrega, featuring two pieces from "Homenaje a Tárrega, Op. 69." Fernandez then takes on the iconic "La maja de Goya," a transcription by Miguel Llobet, demonstrating his ability to breathe new life into well-known works. The "Sonatina," transcribed by Fernandez himself, is a standout piece, with its three distinct movements offering a range of emotions and technical challenges.
Fernandez's own transcriptions continue to shine in "Three Spanish Pieces," where he explores the lively "Fandango," the stately "Passacaglia," and the rhythmic "Zapateado." The album also includes a tribute to Claude Debussy, "Homenaje 'Le tombeau de Debussy'," and the enchanting "Rumores de la caleta, Op. 71, No. 6," another transcription by Fernandez.
The album concludes with two more transcriptions by Fernandez: the vibrant "Cádiz" from Manuel de Falla's "Suite española, Op. 47" and the energetic "Farruca (Danza del molinero)" from Manuel de Falla's ballet "El sombrero de tres picos." Throughout the album, Fernandez's precise and expressive playing brings each piece to life, making "Guitar Recital" a delightful exploration of Spanish classical guitar music.
