Frank Bungarten - Sor: 24 Selected Studies

Fernando Sor was a genial Basque virtuoso on the guitar, and he had no equals when it came to combining finely crafted idiomatic music with inexhaustible creative fantasy � thus substantially expanding the technical limits of his instrument. Sor's ninety-seven �tudes published in five volumes represent the musical legacy of an all-time great musician. MDG is now rereleasing its CD bestseller featuring twenty-four Sor �tudes in interpretations by Frank Bungarten, one of the most distinguished guitarists of our times.Frank Bungarten's way with Sor's etudes has grown on me ... Bear in mind in a previous review, I have marked reservations about this disc, yet, now Bungarten's recital finally shows the depth and diversity of Sor�s etudes. - Fanfare
