On this CD, the Swiss guitarist Roland Müller has
brought together works for the guitar that are particularly
popular and frequently requested in concert. The
origins of the composers represented here illustrates
the global relevance of the guitar, which is equally
significant in the works of composers in Europe as it
is in Latin America and Asia.
Any list of the most famous composers for the
guitar would certainly include the Cuban Leo Brouwer,
whose melancholy “Un dia di noviembre” can
be heard here. Other sounds from the South American
continent come from Jorge Gomez Crespo and
Adrian Patiño.
Carlo Domenico, Enrique Granados, Fernando
Sor and Roland Dyens represent the musical tradition
of old Europe. The piece “Sakura” by Yuquijiro
Yocoh introduces the colors of Japan to this varied
program.
Roland Mueller studied with Jury Clormann in
Winterthur, Karl Scheit in Vienna and Sonja Prunnbauer
in Freiburg. He performs concerts in many
countries in Europe and in North America and gives
master classes in the USA and Europe.
