Carl TEIKE (1864–1922) Marches, Vol. 1 Alte Kameraden Prinz-Albrecht-Marsch The Royal Swedish Navy Band Alexander Hanson

Ausiàs Parejo Guitar Laureate Recital Winner, 2022 ‘Alhambra’ International Guitar Competition BROUWER • ERENA • GUASTAVINO PALOMO • R. PAREJO • PONCE Ausiàs Parejo, Guitar Ausiàs Parejo is the winner of the 2022 ‘Alhambra’ International Guitar Competition. In this programme he includes three cornerstones of the Spanish and Latin American repertoire. Combining idiomatic colour and rhythmic vivacity, Guastavino’s First Guitar Sonata , Ponce’s great tribute to Segovia, and Brouwer’s ingenious sequence of variations offer formidably ambitious technical and interpretative challenges to the performer. Inspired by his youthful brilliance Juan Erena’s Luz del Alba , full of radiant grandeur, is dedicated to Parejo. Ferruccio BUSONI (1866–1924) Piano Music, Vol. 12 Piano Sonatinas Nos. 1, 2 and 4 Prelude and Fugue in C major Nuit de Noël • Drei Albumblätter Wolf Harden, Piano The essence of Ferruccio Busoni’s music lies in its synthesis of emotion and intellect, rooted in his Italian and German ancestry. His Sonatinas typify the stylistic range of his maturity, with the First Sonatina unfolding with the spontaneity of an improvisation. Veering between darting angularity and ominous expectancy, the Second Sonatina is one of his most radical musical statements, while the poise of the Fourth Sonatina marks Busoni’s closest approach to Impressionism. The Drei Albumblätter represent Busoni at his most austere and profound, reflecting the mystical character of his late music.

German composer Carl Teike came into contact with military music at an early age, but with his modest temperament he never achieved a high rank during his time in the army. He resigned from his post after his bandmaster told him to burn Alte Kameraden , a piece that would become one of the most popular marches in the world. Teike’s marches are entirely original and significantly enrich the German concert repertoire with their inventiveness, musical charisma and colourful instrumentation. This programme includes his first march, the Prinz-Albrecht-Marsch , which he dedicated to the Prussian monarch who ‘graciously accepted the dedication’. This is the first of three volumes. Marko Topchii Guitar Laureate Recital Winner, 2023 Guitar Foundation of America (GFA) Competition BARRIOS MANGORÉ • BLIOKH DOWLAND • DUMOND GILARDINO • HAND • KOEHNE POULENC • ROUSSEL Marko Topchii , Guitar This recital by Marko Topchii, winner of the 2023 Guitar Foundation of America Competition, ranges widely across the repertoire, from a Renaissance lute masterpiece by John Dowland, through early 20th-century neo-Romanticism, to the technical challenges of the present day. The programme includes the only works for guitar composed by Roussel and Poulenc – both of which are endlessly evocative. Barrios Mangoré’s sublime Un sueño en la floresta , three Studies by Angelo Gilardino, the competition’s set piece by Frederic Hand, and Konstantin Bliokh’s contemporary Sonata No. 6 ‘Kharkiv ’ complete Topchii’s diverse programme.
