American Record Guide Reviews Segovia Grand Finale!

Posted by Reference Recordings on

Grand Finale: Andrés Segovia Archive

“In his previous 3 albums, prize-winning Spanish guitarist Roberto Moronn Perez has been investigating the Segovia repertoire from a treasure trove called the Segovia Archive. …

A spirited performance of Polish composer Alexandre Tansman’s Cavatina opens the program, with Perez’s sure-fingered, sensitive interpretation rivalling any this reviewer has heard, spanning the emotional spectrum from the playful ‘Preludio’ to the quietly secure ‘Sarabande’ to the tremolo-laden ‘Scherzando’ with its changeable moods and the somber ‘Barcarolle’. … Perez captures the bright spirit of the opening movement to Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Sonata, and the luscious romantic phrasing of the second movement, clearly a strong suit in his interpretive toolbox. Perez’s balance always clearly brings out the melody as in the nicely articulated Minuet. …

Catalan composer Joan Manen’s epic, 17-minute long Fantasia-Sonata, a musical stretch for Segovia, is flawlessly performed by Perez, constantly maintaining the listener’s interest. And Federico Mompou’s 6-movement Suite Compostelana is a credit to Perez’s technical and musical prowess.… This recording adds a welcome dimension to Perez’s study of the entire Segovia repertoire.”
