- Genre: Classical
- Description: Fernando Sor (1778-1839) was a Spanish guitarist and composer often regarded as the InchBeethoven of the guitarInch for the refinement and expressive range of his music. Trained in Barcelona, Sor first pursued a broader career in opera and instrumental music before turning decisively to the guitar, an instrument that, during his lifetime, was gaining recognition in concert halls and private salons alike. After political upheaval forced him into exile, Sor settled in Paris and later London, where he became one of the most respected guitarists and teachers of his era. His works display a mastery of classical form, elegance of melody, and a distinctive clarity that continues to captivate audiences and players today.Among his many works for guitar, the Pieces de societe hold a special place. Published in 1830 in Paris, this collection was conceived not only for professional musicians but also for the flourishing amateur market. The title itself-literally Inchpieces for societyInch-reflects their social function short, charming works intended to be played in intimate gatherings, where the guitar was often a centerpiece of musical entertainment. The pieces range from graceful minuets and waltzes to lyrical romances, each showcasing Sor's gift for combining accessible textures with subtle sophistication.While technically approachable, the Pieces de societe still embody Sor's characteristic elegance balanced phrasing, inventive harmonic progressions, and refined voice leading. They illustrate how Sor adapted his art to the tastes of the salon without compromising musical quality. Today, these works provide valuable insight into nineteenth-century guitar culture and remain staples in the repertoire of students and professionals alike.Played by Leonardo de Marchi, one of the foremost guitar players of Italy.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.
