Landscapes between two Centuries
Javier Suárez-Pajares

Without going beyond the boundaries of tonality or the expressive sub-genres of Romanticism, the works recorded on this disc in some ways suggest a journey through varied landscapes within a common aesthetic. Each one has its own peculiarities, of course, inasmuch as the composers Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909) and Antonio Jiménez Manjón (1866-1919) were of the nineteenth century, while Federico Moreno Torroba (1891-1982) and Eduardo Sainz de la Maza (1903-1982) clearly belong to the twentieth. Finally, between these pairs, is the figure of Miguel Llobet (1878-1938) who represents something of a bridge between these two shores of the history of the guitar.
