The early Romantic guitar: Johan Löfving takes us into the salons of Europe at a period when the instrument's popularity blossomed
Dionisio Aguado, Mauro Giluiani, Napoleon Coste, Fernando Sor, Giulio Regoni, Luigi Boccherini - Fandango! Music for solo guitar and string quartet; Johan Löfving, Consone Quartet, Nanako Aramaki; Resonus Classics Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 28 April 2020 Star rating: 4.0 (★★★★) An exploration of early Romantic guitar music culminating in Boccherini's Fandango guitar quintetThis new disc Fandango! from guitarist Johan Löfving on Resonus Classics explores early Romantic guitar music. Playing a French guitar from around 1850, Löfving takes us on a journey through the salons of Europe, as the guitar becomes a popular instrument. He plays solo guitar music by Dionisio Aguado, Mauro Giluiani, Napoleon Coste, Fernando Sor and Giulio Regoni, and then is joined by the Consone Quartet and Nanako Aramaki for Luigi Boccherini's Guitar Quintet No. 4 in D major, G 448.

[…] Indonesian audiences apart from the rest, however, is their youth. “True to their youth, they’re more receptive to various kinds of music. There doesn’t seem to be the notion that classical music is for older people like there is in Europe,” Bianco notes of the audiences he has played for in Bandung, Semarang and Yogyakarta. For his Jakarta show, Bianco took a page from their ardent spirit by getting into 19th-century French classical guitarist Napoleon Coste’s “Fantaisie Dramatique.” A piece describing a soldier going off to war, its first half, or “Le Depart,” features eager, martial tunes to convey the subject’s heady optimism and certainty.

Album Review: Echo & Return by Callum Henshaw - accomplished, polished and just a little adventurous!
[…] International Guitar Competition in Albania. Nicole’s Verdict on Echo & Return? This is certainly a very special recording, and it’s clear we’re witnessing here the rise of another top Aussie guitar talent. The playing is highly accomplished and musically presented, including across all ten of Granados’ Valses Poeticos and Ponce’s Variations sur “Folia de España” et Fugue, both presented as single tracks on the recordings. Between these two mammoth tracks we’re treated to Napoléon Coste’s Le Départ, which is played with a virtuosic flair, high energy levels and beautiful tone colours. We’re then treated to all four movements of Peter Sculthorpe’s From Kakadu, my favourite of which being the third movement Misterioso. Callum’s approach to this particular movement really evokes that mysterious quality Sculthorpe is no doubt looking for. My favourite piece on this recording though has to be Bleed-through by young Australian composer Samuel Smith. Let me warn […]
