Even during my studies, I was drawn to repertoire beyond the mainstream. I did not limit myself to the established masterpieces
— much admired by me as well — by, for example, Sor, Tárrega,
and Villa-Lobos, but sought out facsimile editions of compositions for the four-course Renaissance guitar, the
five-course Baroque guitar, and related historical instruments such as the vihuela, lute, and colascione, in order
to become acquainted with their music in its original form and to transfer it to the modern guitar as faithfully as possible.
During my years of study in Vienna, I combed through the libraries there in search of early prints and manuscripts of chamber
music with guitar. In doing so, I discovered engaging works by entirely forgotten composers, which I later performed with my
partners and, in some cases, brought back into print — among them duos with flute or violin by
Raphael Dressler,
Theodor Gaude, and others; duos with mandolin by
Charles Baron d’Aichelbourg; trios by
Anton Kargl; and much more.
Over the years, my focus increasingly turned toward works originally
written for the guitar — pieces in which the composer had already imagined the distinctive sound of the instrument at the moment
of creation. The virtually never-performed late-Romantic Segoviana by
Alfred Heinrich Loreti, whose score somehow found its way into my collection,
therefore interests me more than the customary body of transcriptions of Spanish piano music from the same period.
The acquisition of a period instrument built around 1840 proved to be a decisive impulse to devote myself more intensively to the
solo repertoire of that era — an era that may seem familiar to us as the “Golden Age of the Guitar,” yet still holds much to be
discovered. Who, after all, is familiar with the one hundred minuets published in Paris in 1844 by the Peruvian-Bolivian composer
Pedro Ximénez Abrill Tirado, works that only resurfaced in the twenty-first
century and that rank among the finest music written for the guitar at that time? I consider myself fortunate to have an ever-growing
number of them in my repertoire.
For me, solo performance and chamber music form an essential complement. The artistic control that a solo program affords me is as
essential to me as the inspiring dialogue with a duo partner or the contribution I can make with the guitar as a distinctive color
within a larger ensemble.
