For his guitar laureate recording, Croatian-born Lovro Peretić has selected a panoramic programme that reaches back to the 18th century and forward to modern times. Of the two Scarlatti sonata arrangements one is by Peretić who has also transcribed a Brahms Intermezzo into a poignant lullaby. His performance of Karel Craeyvanger’s Weber homage, reveals the work’s variety and expressiveness. He also plays a sensually evocative piece by Barrios Mangoré, and two barely known works by Debussy. Peretić ends the recital with Henze’s characterful Second Sonata on Shakespearean Characters . Key Feature: Lovro Peretić (b. 1995) is an award-winning classical guitarist from Zagreb, Croatia. He has won First Prize at the International Competition for Young Guitarists ‘Andres Segovia’ in Velbert, Germany, the Anna Amalia Gitarrewettbewerb in Weimar, the Zagreb Guitar Festival in Croatia; Concorso Internazionale di Chitarra Classica ‘Enrico Mercatali’ in Gorizia, Italy and the Sarajevo International Guitar Festival, among others.

In 18th-century Naples, one of the most fertile artistic centres in Europe, Francesco Durante was considered ‘supreme’, composing music that gave him an international status. His psalm settings stand out for their astoundingly modern contrapuntal tensions and expressive nuance. Coupled with Giovanni Salvatore’s uniquely inventive pieces for organ, these world premiere recordings revive sacred works by a composer lauded in his day as the ‘greatest master of harmony in Italy’. Key Feature: Aside from producing a recording of some beautiful music for our ever-popular Early Music Collection, this release will be of interest to scholars and musicians at every level. These sacred compositions by Durante constitute now rarely heard ‘true Neapolitan church music’, and this album is intended to generate interest among the public and make an active contribution to the greater understanding of the artistry and style of Francesco Durante, a composer with international status as witnessed by the numerous manuscripts of his music preserved in the major libraries of Europe.

In September 1925, seven students gathered in Brussels to form the first composers’ collective in Belgian music history – Les Synthétistes – who sought to distinguish themselves from late Romantic style by connecting with contemporary music. A lack of symphony orchestras in Belgium at the time saw them composing and transcribing original works for wind band, and through their collaboration with Arthur Prevost and the Band of the Belgian Guides, a unique canon of original, modern music could be heard on the Brussels concert stages during the interwar period. This recording provides a resounding response to the injustice of this repertoire’s complete neglect today. Works by the collective’s ‘master’ Paul Gilson and the seventh member, René Bernier, can be heard on the digital single 9.70351.
