Product description

Sharon Isbin, the acclaimed Grammy-winning guitarist, invites you to explore the rich musical landscapes of Spain and Italy with her latest album, "Souvenirs of Spain & Italy." Released on August 23, 2019, under the Cedille label, this captivating collection showcases Isbin's virtuosic prowess and her deep affinity for the classical guitar repertoire.

The album spans a little over an hour, featuring a diverse array of compositions that highlight Isbin's versatility and the guitar's expressive range. From the intricate and lively movements of Luigi Boccherini's Guitar Quintet, Op. 143, to the elegant and serene arrangements of Antonio Vivaldi's Chamber Concerto in D Major, RV 93, Isbin navigates the pieces with technical brilliance and emotional depth.

Joined by the distinguished Escher String Quartet, Isbin delivers a mesmerizing performance of Joaquín Turina's "La oración del torero," originally composed for string quartet. The album also includes the world premiere recording of Boccherini's Guitar Quintet No. 4 in D Major, G. 448, expertly arranged by Sharon Isbin herself.

"Souvenirs of Spain & Italy" is a testament to Sharon Isbin's artistry and her ability to bring these timeless compositions to life. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or new to the genre, this album offers a delightful journey through the musical heritage of two of Europe's most culturally rich countries.
