HR Recordings is proud to present Carcassi Complete Solo Guitar Works – Vol. 1 with guitarist Agustín Maruri. This is a Double Album in Stereo DSD 512, DSD 256, DSD 128, DSD 64 and the recorded format and bit rate of Stereo DXD 32 Bit. It features the complete solo guitar works recording of the Italian guitar master and composer Matteo Carcassi.

Carcassi is a very well-known name among every guitar player in the world thanks to his famous “25 Études Mélodiques op.60”, and his “Six Caprices op.26”. Unfortunately until now those were the only pieces really known by guitarists.

We thought Carcassi’s solo guitar music deserves much more recognition among not only guitar players but music lovers in general. So here it is, the first volume of a few to come, including the already mentioned “25 Études Mélodiques op.60” and “Six Caprices op.26” as well as the first world recording of his “Trois Sonatinas Op.1”, the beautiful “Variations on “La Capricciosa Corretta” op.6” and the charming 24 short pieces op.21 called “Les recreations des commençans” in a double album of 120 minutes.

We welcome all guitar and music lovers to rediscover a great XIX century composer through our Carcassi Project.

Agustín Maruri, Guitarist
