Fernando Sor’s guitar sonatas rank among the most important compositions in the guitar repertoire, harmonically exquisite, at times full of melancholy and longing, but also lively and virtuosic. Ricardo Gallén, one of the most outstanding guitarists of our time, gives an impressive and stylish rendition of these masterpieces, performing on a copy of a 19th-century Fabricatore guitar by Arnoldo García.

Ricardo Gallén is currently a Professor at the HFM “Franz Liszt” in Weimar, Germany, Ricardo Gallén has received over twenty international prizes, and performed under the direction of well-known conductors such as Leo Brouwer, Monica Huggett or Jordi Savall. His first recording was among NAXoS’ 50 top-selling records for 2001, and he recently got the “Andres Segovia” Medal Award given by the Andres Segovia Foundation in Spain.
