NOTES
‘Guitarra Internacional’, a new release by leading Scottish guitarist Allan Neave, takes you on a musical journey through Cuba, Venezeula, Mexico, Paraguay, Ukraine, Spain and home to present day Scotland. The CD features some perennial favourites and new works written for the artist, all of which demonstrate the guitar’s range, flexibility and virtuosity.

Neave is on fine form here, with this his first solo release for nearly 10 years. From the dynamic tour-de-force of Brouwer’s Elogio de la Danza, to the intimacy of Barrios’s Una Limosnita por el Amor de Dios, this new release from naturalstudio records is a veritable aural feast.

Also featuring music by Manuel Ponce, Valerij Petrenko, Antonio Lauro, Fernando Sor, Peter Stewart and Don Paterson, ‘Guitarra Internacional’ is for music lovers across the globe.

Latest reviews in brief:


Matthew McAllister / Merula @ Tokafi.com

It has almost become a general consensus that classical and contemporary repertoire need to be treated fundamentally different. “Merula”, however, works exactly because it defies the dogma. For his debut album, Matthew McAllister has taken the liberty of showing his abilties within the most diverse contexts, of organising a time-travel package through the ages and of recording his own interpretations of “a choice selection of classic guitar repertoire, alongside newer styles of contemporary guitar music.”

Agnew & McAllister / Recital @ Classical Guitar

The Agnew/McAllister duo once again show their talents as arrangers in a superb presentation of the Fantasie from “Carmen” where Aisling Agnew displays her highly polished, fluid technique to its best advantage … Throughout this recording the duo handles all the technical and musical requirements with aplomb and have produced a most alluring disc.

Agnew & McAllister / Recital @ Tokafi.com

If you can’t catch this duo live, then “Recital” is the next best thing … a work which lures you into loving it by its unintrusive nature … it is vivid and full of the pleasure of being alive
