Goyesca - Seguidillas Boleras - Fernando (...)

Fernando Sor - Seguidillas Boleras : Xavier Díaz-Latorre’s commitment to promoting Spanish music - "Quand on voudra retrouver la tradition de la véritable musique espagnole, ce sera près de Sor qu’on devra la chercher...." Encyclopédie Pittoresque de la Musique of A.Ledhuy and H. Bertini (Paris 1835)

Zig-Zag Territoires presents three Spanish projects with Xavier Díaz-Latorre and his ensemble Laberintos Ingeniosos. The ‘Instruction of music for the Spanish guitar’ of Gaspar Sanz (ZZT061002) explores the world of folk and aristocratic dances of the seventeenth century. A recording of tonos humanos by José Marín and guitar pieces by Francisco Guerau (seventeenth century) will complete this itriptych in 2009. In 2008 we release a programme of Seguidillas Boleras by Fernando Sor.

Thanks to the editions of Brian Jeffery published in 1976, guitarists have been able to discover and re-evaluate the quality of these Seguidillas for guitar and voice set to music by the brilliant guitarist Fernando Sor, which recreate the atmosphere of a society soiree in Barcelona, London or Paris in the early nineteenth century.

The virtuoso guitar of Fernando Sor, alone or accompanying spicy poems (probably written by the composer himself), brought the exoticism of Spanish folk tunes and dances into the salons of Europe. A veritable vogue for Spanishry was to develop, notably a fascination for the bolero.
