After Georg Gulyas’ critically lauded recordings of the collected works for guitar by Bach and Britten on Proprius/Naxos, this internationally acclaimed guitarist now returns to the Latin American guitar repertoire with a brand new album dedicated to the Paraguayan composer Augustin Barrios. Recording producer is Torbjorn Samuelsson who continues the highly praised sound work that characterize Gulyas’ previous records. The Swedish guitarist, Georg Gulyás, graduated from the College of Music in Malmo in 1990, studied in Alicante, Spain, in 1990-1991, and received his diploma from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm in 1998. He studied at the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris from 1993 to 1998, and at at the Juilliard School of Music in New York from 1998 to 2000.

For his guitar laureate recording, Croatian-born Lovro Peretic has selected a panoramic programme that reaches back to the 18th century and forward to modern times. Of the two Scarlatti sonata arrangements one is by Peretic who has also transcribed a Brahms Intermezzo into a poignant lullaby. His performance of Karel Craeyvanger’s Weber homage, reveals the work’s variety and expressiveness. He also plays a sensually evocative piece by Barrios Mangore, and two barely known works by Debussy. Peretic ends the recital with Henze’s characterful Second Sonata on Shakespearean Characters.
