Ali Arango - Al? Arango Guitar Laureate Recital

Al� Arango, First Prize winner of the 2018 T�rrega International Guitar Competition, Benic�ssim, has selected the repertoire for this recital in tribute to his years in Cuba where he learned many of these works. He has chosen T�rrega�s brilliant Gran jota, Barrios Mangor�s masterpiece, La catedral and the powerful Sonata No. 1 by his fellow Cuban, the contemporary master Leo Brouwer with whose music Arango is strongly associated. Also included is the guitarist�s own Tr�ptico para guitarra, a large-scale work that embraces sarabande-like motifs, polyphony and Afro-Cuban influences.
