Acclaimed guitarist Christophe Dejour brings together four works that were premiered many years after they were composed, due to unpredictable and, in some cases, fateful circumstances. Both oscar Espla’s ground-breaking Tempo di Sonata and Ignace Strasfogel’s monumental Prelude, Elegie and Rondo were written for Andres Segovia but remained hidden for decades, while Alois Haba’s neglected Guitar Sonata is a fantastic work of the highest musical quality. Antonio Jose’s music was banned under the Franco regime in Spain, yet his extraordinary Guitar Sonata, composed in 1933 and only rediscovered in the late 1980s, is revealed as a true masterpiece.
