Opis: Fantasia Mexicana Mexican Guitar Music

With his new album Rodolfo Pérez brings us a miniature musical history of Mexico through the sound of the guitar, from Sinaloa songs to a seminal work of 20th-century guitar music, the Sonata Mexicana by Manuel Ponce, possibly the centurys first sonata for the instrument. The set also features unpublished works by Julio César Oliva and José Ángel Ramírez, which form ideal counterparts to Ponces masterwork.

Popular song a crucial musical form in Mexico, a nation for which singing is very much a part of everyday life is woven into this albums melodies and references throughout, as well as forming the basis for Ponces Tres canciones populares. This is only one of the ways in which this music transports us to atmospheric Mexican locations: Olivas Una tarde de verano (from Tres Instantes de Éxtasis) seems infused with the breeze of a rural Mexican idyll at sunset; the final movement of the Sonata Mexicana conjures up the colour and festivity of an urban fiesta. Meanwhile, Ramírezs Fantasía Sinaloense allows the guitarist to showcase some of his finest feats of virtuosity.

Pérez is the ideal soloist for this set in more ways than one. Beyond his technical ability and knowledge of Mexican music history, he is closely and personally linked to the composers featured here, being the dedicatee of works by both Oliva and Ramírez, and having given the premiere of the Fantasía Sinaloense.
