Product Description
Christophe Dejour's arrangements of music by Albeniz and Granados performed by Trio Campanella have won much acclaim. For this recording he has made three pioneering arrangements that further expand the instrument's repertoire and compass. Dejour's arrangement of Gesualdo's Canzon Francese del Principe is both expressive and idiomatic, and he explores two great 20th-century works in Berg's milestone Piano Sonata, Op.1and Bartók's profound and complex Sonata for Solo Violin which was inspired by Bach.
Customer Reviews
The repertoire on this disc is monumental - sonatas and fugues of epic proportions. To hear it all performed on guitar is almost unbelievable. These are all Christophe Dejour's original transcriptions to guitar of works from other instruments. Overcoming the seemingly insurmountable odds, especially with the Berg (originally for piano), is nothing short of miraculous with the end result sounding as though the pieces were born as guitar works. Christophe Dejour is apparently a guitarist of remarkable technical abilities. But beyond the Herculean technique, I am as much impressed by his musicality, especially when tackling the more thorny 20th century works. You can always hear a singing line no matter how dense the texture or fractured the rhythm. All in all, this is remarkable scholarship and playing. I hope this disc gets much attention. I can only wonder what he'll tackle next. . .
