About this product
These are the first recordings that Raphaël Faÿs devoted to flamenco, and his double album is today a reference. Faÿs, a virtuoso guitarist in his own right, was close to the genre's master, Paco de Lucia, and this set marked the first signs of what would become Raphaël's own signature he used a plectrum to play delicate yet powerful phrases. Here he made flamenco's sources his own while revisiting the classical guitar as well as it's flamenco and gypsy jazz siblings. He left his definitive imprint on the flamenco repertoire in opening the way, with a personal InchImpression of AndalusiaInch, to a mixed-origin ornamental perspective that he has continued to shape for more than 20 years.

Initially released in 2015, the triple album Circulo de la noche was a fundamental corpus it took four years for Raphaël Faÿs to study the depths of this music's soul before he could define the basic currents that flow through the artistic expressions in this recording. Here he would recount all the diversity that lies in this material, and brilliantly add his own artistic touches, which you hear notably in the special way he attacks the strings using a pick, but also in the instrumentation, with a choice that varies in geometry and links solo passages with others that are orchestral. In paying tribute to his friend Paco de Lucia, he became part of the same approach that adds value to a national heritage. Raphaël Faÿs has also explored gypsy swing and classical music, and belongs to the great contemporary guitarists; here he provides the most wonderfully absorbing display of his vocation, which is to convey emotions.
