New transcriptions for 2009

Among the most remarkable pieces from these novelties, Ramón Jiménez’ rondeña deserves the best consideration, for being a sort of development of Paco de Lucia’s latest ideas in this palo. A really somptuous composition, a new standard in the rondeña style. Miguel Angel Cortés again, with his very inspired granaína, as well as Moraíto for his very pleasant and joyful (and very easy to perform) Romance de Huelva. I am glad to propose also another soleá from Tomatito, a stage perfomance dating from 1994, where one will find superb and unknown falsetas from the legendary tocaor.

Paco Peña 
Bulería Fiesta en Jerez   LP: Flamenco Guitar
Another bulería from Paco Peña, exploring alternately phrygian and major key in A. Maybe not his most famous one, certainly one of the most interesting.
.
Soleá Patio cordobés   LP: The Art of the Flamenco Guitar
Certainly his most personal and beautiful work por soleá.
.
Tangos Puertatierra   La guitarra flamenca de Paco Peña
His basic stuff in this palo, his personal rhythmical stamp. Not difficult to play, apart of one or two runs that need some mastery at the tango tempo.
.
Malagueña verdiales La Alcazaba   La guitarra flamenca de Paco Peña
His proper version of this traditional palo; beautiful falsetas, with a conclusion that strongly reminds the reference piece in the style: Paco de Lucía ‘s En la Caleta.
.
     
Sabicas 
Siguiriya Duelo flamenco
LP: Arte gitano
Found on a recording that escaped notice, this composition contains beautiful falsetas, not played anywhere else by the master. It would have been a tragedy to loose this part of his work.
.
Granaína Los Arrayanes
LP: Ritmos de España
The magic with Sabicas is that one never ends finding jewels within his infinite legacy. Another great moment, another great page added to the flamenco repertory.
.
Tientos Jardines del Albaícin
LP: La guitarra de Sabicas
Another piece that had to be transcribed. His longest and best achieved tientos in A key.
.
   
Paco Cepero
Siguiriya Ermita de Santelmo   LP: Corazón y bordón
Original and smart ideas in the style, and as usual with Cepero, very easy to play
.
Bulería Abolengo   LP: Abolengo
Cepero is the absolute master of compás and symbol of the Jerez style. Here again very easy stuff, as well as an unequalable ratio « musical efficiency/difficulty to play ».
.
   
Mario Escudero
Serrana Tonadilla   LP: Guitarras y flamenco
Escudero will remain definitely as one of the greatest flamenco creators. Here is his personal work in the serrana style.
.
     
Manuel Cano
Guajira De Cadiz a la Habana   LP: Temas flamencos para concierto
Tuneful palo, turning to be another jewel under Cano’s fingers. As usual with Manuel Cano, a piece aimed at every true guitar lover, whatever his personal favourite style can be.
.
Soleá Romance a la soleá   LP: Temas flamencos para concierto
This piece must definitely be listed in the catalogue of the most beautiful soleas ever recorded. Clearly taking place in the Montoya style, it provides superb Cano’ stamp falsetas, especially the tremolo variation. Adding the astounding sound of Manuel Cano, the guitar seems here to be playing in the nave of a cathedral.
.
       
José Pisa
Malagueña Recuerdo a Almería   LP: Feu sand et poésie
A perfect model of clasicism. An excellent opportunity to remind this fabulous gypsy tocaor,who left too soon the flamenco scene.
.
     
As always, you can buy a cassette tape recording of any of the above pieces if you purchase the transcription.
