Winner of a remarkable number of awards and acknowledged as one of the most important guitarists to emerge from Mexico in recent years, Cecilio Perera demonstrates the strength and beauty of the guitar tradition in Central and South America in this recital. Manuel Ponce’s evocative Sonata Mexicana contrasts with the exciting meeting of ancient and modern in Leo Brouwer’s Sonata, Julio César Oliva’s Tangomania, ‘a sonata in the style of the modern tango influenced by Piazzolla’, and the haunting and at times dazzling Pieces from Venezuela by Vicente Emilio Sojo.
