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.
