With Jacob's third release through Cala Records, this CD is a celebration of the most well-known and best loved works from the guitar repertoire. It features the great composers of the Spanish guitar as well as their Latin American counterparts alongside some arrangements of modern popular songs.
What the Press Says:Mr Cordover "has it all–technique, musicianship, inventive programming... In this release he confirms that impression. Even if you already have these pieces in other performances, Cordover’s have such a distinct and attractive personality that it will be worth finding."
- American Record Guide (November/December 2016) "Jacob Cordover’s latest Cala collection finds the Australian classical guitarist applying his impeccable instrumental technique to a series of evocative pieces penned by many of ther leading lights of the genre." - Kevin Bryan's Record Review |

Jacob's second release through Cala Records, this is the debut CD from Zoco Duo - his oboe/cor anglais and guitar duo - with Laura Karney.
Whether capturing the haunting and mournful quality of Rodrigo's Spanish songs, the sultry precision of the Argentine Tango or the virtuosic excitement and drama of Giuliani's potpourri of Italian Opera, Zoco Duo's debut CD illuminates the remarkable versatility of the guitar and oboe / cor anglais through thoughtful arrangements of well loved classics and unknown gems. What the Press Says:This absorbing collaboration between classical guitarist Jacob Cordover and oboe and cor anglais player Laura Karney draws its subject matter from a variety of highly evocative sources...
The finished product is exotic, atmospheric and appealingly multi-textured, and should be required listening for open minded music lovers everywhere. - Kevin Bryan's Record Review |

Released through Cala Records, Jacob's newest solo CD features an eclectic program from Bach through Spanish favourites to contemporary popular songs, the album title being taken from the work by fellow Australian Ross Edwards.
What the Press Says:"His technique is flawless, his expression tasteful and always interesting and moving. This is simply the finest performance of Walton's Bagatelles I've encountered."
- American Record Guide (January/February 2014) "His interpretation of the Bach suite is one of the finest I have heard to date with superb phrasing and total mastery of the technicalities involved in playing this difficult composition." -Steve Marsh, Classical Guitar Magazine (January 2014) "The whole disc is wonderful – and thank you for playing my piece with such elegance and sensitivity and colouring it in ways I could never have imagined"

Jacob's debut solo album features some of the greatest 20th Century works for solo guitar including pieces by Leo Brouwer, Carlo Domeniconi, Phillip Houghton, Joaquin Rodrigo and Peter Sculthorpe.
What the Press Says:"Each work receives a wonderfully sympathetic and highly accomplished interpretation with Cordover making full use of the most expressive registers manageable on the guitar.
The one-and-a-quarter-hour programme is complete joy to listen to throughout, Cordover managing to get to the very soul of this striking and brilliant music ..." - Classical Guitar Magazine (UK), August 2007 "It takes some courage to release a debut recording with Brouwer’s El Decameron Negro, Domeniconi’s Koyunbaba, and Rodrigo’s Invocacion y Danza. These works are not only virtuoso showpieces, but popular pieces that have been recorded widely, so the competition is intense. But Cordover is up to it. His performances can stand comparison with the best. The recording is nearly a decade old, but even then Cordover displayed the highest levels of musicianship. It is a treasure to hear." - American Record Guide (July/August 2014) |
