The 14th album is the third installment of the “Sonata Collection.” Fernando Sor is an indispensable composer for guitar enthusiasts. Dubbed the “Beethoven of the guitar,” he was a key figure in the instrument’s first golden age, which dramatically elevated its status within classical music.

Furthermore, this CD features recordings made using an original 19th-century guitar (Petitjean L’aine a Paris, circa 1830). Once you begin listening to the performance, the world of the Viennese Classical period will be recreated through the guitar’s simple yet rich resonance.

Enjoy Masahiro Masuda’s assured technique and rich musicality on this CD as he consistently engages with the important 19th-century Viennese Classical repertoire and original works for guitar, never chasing trends.
