Sofia Gubaidulina has found a soulfulness and freedom in the guitar that speaks to her musical language of expressive mood and often mysterious but precise sonorities. In both Repentance and Sotto Voce she combines guitars with lower stringed instruments, creating a virtuosic, multi-dimensional and deeply poetic role for each voice. Fascinating new sounds from the guitar are produced, from the most eloquent chorales to remarkable effects using a drinking glass. The earlier Serenade is 'music for pleasure', while this première recording of the Toccata reveals a work with a driving momentum that hardly stops. The works for guitar presented on this Naxos - Ms. Gubaidulina's complete works for the instrument written between 1960-2010/13 - feature four distinguished guitarists David Tanenbaum, Thomas Viloteau, Paul Psarras and Marc Teicholz, as well as a number of additional supporting string players on viola, cello and bass.

It was a pivotal meeting in the mid-1920s that marked the beginning of an enduring musical and personal friendship between Alexandre Tansman and the Spanish virtuoso guitarist Andres Segovia. Tansman's legacy for the instrument ranges over a 57-year period, inaugurated by a dazzling Mazurka and represents Segovia's 'most advanced commitment to modern music.' This first volume presents suites and dances inspired by Italy, Poland and Eastern Europe, and includes Suite in modo polonico, heard here in it's original version, not the Segovia-authorized collage. Andrea de Vitis has meticulously researched the original manuscripts to resolve any doubts and omissions in published editions.
