Fantasie Romantique

Akers, James

RES 10334

Guitarist James Akers presents Fantasie Romantique – a collection of premier recordings of significant works by little-known Eastern European guitarist composers of the nineteenth century.

With many of the works based on popular pieces of the day, including opera arias and folk melodies, it gives them an accessibility that belies their obscurity and underpins their virtuosity.

Having been neglected for over a century this recording attempts a reassessment of these composers and their work employing period instruments and techniques to render them as sympathetically and accurately as possible.

Works:

•Decker-Schenk: Fantaisie Romantique
•Decker-Schenk: Ukrainische Weise
•Dubez: Fantaisie on Hungarian Themes
•Makaroff: Fleurs du Nord, Op. 3, No. 1
•Mertz: Capriccio, Op. 9
•Pavlistcheff: Grande Fantaisie sur un motif de l’Opera 'La fiancée' d’Auber, Op. 25
•Pettoletti: Fantaisie sur une Romance favorite de Paschkoff, Op. 31
•Polupayenko: Fantasia on Zaporozyhe Themes
