Regino Sainz de la Maza: (COLUMBIA; DECCA; ODEON c. 1928-1948) Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez Tarrega: Mazurka; Evocación; Reverie Sainz de la Maza (Arr:): El Vito Andres Segovia: (COLUMBIA 1949) Castelnuovo-Tedesco: Guitar Concerto No.1; Tarantella Ponce: Sonatina Meridional Volume 9 of "Segovia and His Contemporaries," showcases two landmark recordings, Segovia's first performance of the Castelnuovo-Tedesco Concerto #1 and Regino Sainz de la Maza's premiere of Rodrigo's universally beloved Concierto de Aranjuez. Waxed in the late 1940s, these rare recordings marked the first appearance on disc of the first concertos written for the guitar in the twentieth century. Sainz de la Maza was one of the most important classical guitarists of the twentieth century not only as a performer, but as a teacher, composer, arranger, and exponent of new repertoire. This recording goes a long way to rectify his very weak representation on CD. Besides his evocative performance of the Aranjuez, he plays two tremolo studies and a Mazurka of Tarrega, as well as his own arrangement of the folk tune El Vito. Segovia offers Castelnuovo-Tedesco's virtuosic Tarantella and Ponce's Sonatina Meridional. DOREMI is proud to issue these musically historic gems of the art of the classical guitar.
