NARCISO YEPES

Narciso Yepes is acknowledged as one of the finest virtuoso classical guitarists of the 20th century. His playing - for which he adopted a ten- rather than six-string guitar - was characterized by incisiveness, rhythmic energy and fullness of sound. This 20-CD Original Jackets collection brings together for the first time Narciso Yepes’ COMPLETE SOLO RECORDINGS for Deutsche Grammophon; recorded between 1967 and 1989. Includes the first international CD release of many rare recordings, as well as the first-ever CD release of Bach’s Prelude, Fugue & Allegro in E flat, BWV 998; Prelude in C minor, BWV 999; Suite for Lute in E major, BWV 1006a; Giuliani’s Sonatina in D major, Op.7 No.3; and Tarrega’s Preludes in D minor and E major. Extensive booklet (4c) with new liner notes by guitar expert Graham Wade in English, German, French & Spanish Following NARCISO YEPES’ COMPLETE CONCERTO RECORDINGS, this new collection assembles a huge range of solo repertoire, from Baroque and Renaissance music to 20th-century works.
