Info
The first joint album from countertenor Philippe Jaroussky and guitarist Thibaut Garcia, A sa guitare takes its name from a song by the 20th century French composer Francis Poulenc. But its frame of reference is extraordinarily wide - both culturally and stylistically. Its 22 tracks range across 400 years and music by composers and songwriters from France, Britain, Austria, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina and the USA.
Info
Expressing his own cultural identity, guitarist Thibaut Garcia combines Rodrigo's archetypally Spanish 'Concierto de Aranjuez' with a declaration of l'esprit français: Alexandre Tansman's neoclassical 'Musique de cour', inspired by the court of Louis XIV. Garcia's heritage is Spanish, but he is French, born in the city of Toulouse, where this album was recorded with the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse and the young British conductor Ben Glassberg. It is completed by four solo pieces by Regino Sáinz de la Maza, the guitarist who gave the premiere of the 'Concierto de Aranjuez' in 1940.
