Asencio: Complete Guitar Music

Mesirca, Alberto

95806

Vicente Asencio (1908-1979), despite not playing the guitar, gained fame and prestige in the musical world thanks to his guitar compositions. He was basically a distinguished pianist - coming from the Marshall Academy in Barcelona, in the shadow of the great Enrique Granados. As a composer, he deliberately chose to link himself to the musical tradition of his Valencian region. He was a highly cultured artist, with an open mind and no prejudices, who did not deny his attention to the “new” music of his era. • Asencio’s affinity for the guitar came from the young Narcio Yepes, who came to him for music lessons. Both musicians inspired each other, technically and musically. • The complete guitar works by Asencio: suites of highly characteristic and atmospheric pieces, evoking the sounds of his native country. • Played with great affection and technical mastery by Alberto Mesirca, one of the foremost Italian guitarists of today. He successfully recorded for Brilliant Classics works by Sanz, Regondi, Gilardino and others.
