January 16, 2007 "Performer-Composers/Mark Anthony Cruz Interview"
<Listen Online Now>

This week's edition of Classical Guitar Alive! features music by performer-composers and an interview with Texas-based composer-guitarist Mark Anthony Cruz, who discusses music from his CD "Pequenas Piezas para mi Padre."

The program begins with selections from Cruz's "Peguenas Piezas". Edoardo Catemario performs Mauro Giuliani's (1781-1829) "Guitar Concerto No. 1 in A, op. 30," on a period instrument dating from 1825. The program concludes with a rare early recording by a very young Assad Duo of Radames Gnattali's "Concerto for Two Guitars, Oboe, and Strings."

Special thanks to Mr. Tony Muller for the Giuliani recording. Special thanks also to Mr. Byron Fogo for the Gnattali recording.
