Judicael Perroy - Ponce:Guitar Music Vol. 4

Considered by many to be the founding father of 20th-century Mexican music, Manuel Ponce dedicated himself to composing for guitar after meeting Andr�s Segovia in 1923. The evocative and warmly lyrical Sonatina Meridional is his response to Segovia's request for a work of a purely Spanish character. The two versions of Th�me vari� et Finale with their inspired harmonic progressions are recorded together here for the first time, as is one of Ponce's most expressive pieces, the Andante from a manuscript lost during the Spanish Civil War. Variations on a Theme of Cabez�n was his final work for guitar.
