Barrios - Medallón Antiguo (Apr 19 update)
I'm pretty happy with this take. I tried to play it from memory several times, as I tend to be more musical when I do that. Unfortunately, once I hit the record button, my memory suddenly takes a vacation. So after a bunch of takes in which the music just stopped because I forgot what came next, I decided to use the score more. Overall, I'm pretty pleased though. The C section is more legato than it was yesterday.

Today I am posting my recording of Carlevaro's, Preludio Americano 1, Evocación. The suite of five preludes were dedicated to Andres Segovia and published in 1970s. This first prelude is very representative of Carlevaro's tonal language which he greatly expands upon in his sonata, Cronomias. The photo that used for the background is Maestro Carlevaro in his home studio in Montevideo, Uruguay.
