Sor: Early Works

Carter, William

CKR 343

• World-renowned Baroque guitarist William Carter presents an appealing collection of early works by Spanish guitar virtuoso and composer Fernando Sor. • Carter believes Sor’s guitar music is some of the finest ever written for the instrument. Fernando Sor: Early Works includes three largescale works, interspersed with shorter pieces, which are charming and intimate with a strong Spanish flavour. • Carter employs a performance practice endorsed by Sor himself – playing without fingernails – making this a truly unique recording. • Carter’s use of his fingertips delivers wider dynamic contrasts and a softer, more subtle sound. This is the premiere recording of Sor’s early works to explore this performance practice. • Carter’s recording is a blend of his incredible knowledge of the instrument and composer, his extensive research and endless hours of perfecting his technique.
