Award-winning Italian guitarist Andrea Bissoli has made a significant contribution to Villa-Lobos’ status as a composer for the guitar, both through his extensive and ground-breaking research, and his musicianship, characterised by MusicWeb International as “a hot spring of bubbling energy and rejuvenating zest”. This set includes both the rare and the recently discovered (some works long assumed to be lost), as well as Bissoli’s completion of the unfinished Valsa Concerto No. 2 and his ‘folk ensemble’ instrumentation of fourteen songs from the Guia prático. Bissoli also performs the Concerto written for the legendary Segovia.
