FANTASIA MEXICANA: Mexican Guitar Music [CD de audio] Rodolfo Perez and Ponce, Oliva, Ramirez

A celebration of melody and color of original guitar music from Mexico. This well-compiled program covers a period from arrangements of romantic 19th-century folk songs to the mature and serious Sonatina Mexicana of Manuel Ponce. Folk song, an essential part of Mexican culture and existence, plays an omnipresent role in these compositions, by Oliva, Ramírez and Ponce. Performed with virtuosity, dedication and warmth by Rodolfo Pérez, one of the main Mexican guitarists, who is the recipient and close friend of both Ramírez and Oliva, and author of the liner notes.
