More DescriptionThis volume contains the two most popular guitar pieces by Octavio Vazquez, his Prelude and Fugue (1999) and his suite Nostos (2009). Commissioned by Brazilian-American guitarist Julio Ribeiro Alves in 1999, the Prelude and Fugue was subsequently recorded by Michael Nicolella in his album Ten Years Passed (Gale Recordings, 2010). In 2009, precisely ten years after the Prelude and Fugue was written, Adam Levin commissioned Nostos, a suite in six movements that met with immediate success from audiences and critics alike. Levin's recording of the piece for his album 21st Century Spanish Guitar (NAXOS, 2013) prompted MusicWeb International's critic Brian Reinhart to write "[Nostos is] a truly important addition to the guitar repertoire. I'd go to any concert where it's on the program."
