Swiss guitarist Christoph Denoth is considered one of the foremost guitarists of the younger generation, much praised for his rich sound and musical expression. For this new recording from Abbey Road he joins the London Symphony Orchestra under Jesús López Cobos to perform three much loved works for guitar and orchestra Rodridgo’s much loved Concierto de Aranjuez, the Nocturnos de Andalucía by Lorenza Palomo, and a new orchestral arrangement by Denoth of Joaquín Malats Serenata Española.
***** ‘Throughout Denoth impresses both with his technique, but also with the engaging way he plays the music. He clearly feels strongly about Palomo’s work, and brings out the interesting darkness and complexity of Palomo’s vision of Anadalusia. Whilst the Rodrigo is a lovely, highly recommendable performance, it is the Palomo which makes this disc special. I do hope that the performance makes more guitarists take up this fascinating work.’ –Robert Hugill Planet Hugill, 24th March 2016
