Stélé, Jacob Cordover solo guitar
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)
"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."
