Carlos Surinach's Flamenco Meditations for Voice and Piano.On five 'Sonnets from the Portuguese' by Elizabeth Barrett BrowningDedicated to Hilde Wittgenstein.'The heritageof flamenco is one of Spain's richest treasures. From its Berber-Sephardim roots this pure form of music has made itself a unique place in the history of the humanities and the arts. Its joys and sorrows are of an intricatenature: at once introvert and extrovert they are conveyed through dramatic rhythms and singular contrasts. I write freely in this idiom.In this song cycle I have combined drama with sheer primitivism to celebratelove and death. The five Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning were the ideal lyric inspiration. This is great poetry and strangely enough it is close to what would have been said in Spanish had the songsemanated from ethnic impulses.' - Carlos Surinach

Estudio de Estilo-The life and work of Sabicas contradicts the widespread idea that you have to be Andalusian to play flamenco. Sabicas an exceptional guitarist and composer in the history of flamenco lived most of his life in America. This long 'exile' explains without doubt why Sabicas was the first flamenco guitarist essentially playing solo concerts. His large concert discography exceeds that of Paco de Luc a and Manolo Sanlúcar. This is one of two volumes that focus on Sabicas varied works. This volume (Temas Flamencos) covers the fundamentals of Buler as fandangos the Siguiriyas the Soleares etc. The first volume (Temas De Concierto) isfocused on Sabicas works inspired by the Iberian folklore or some marginal forms of flamenco repertoire.
