Petri Kumela - Fernando Sor: Music for Guitar (2018)

Posted By: tirexiss

Does the world need another disc devoted to Fernando Sor? Sure, why not?! OK, the Naxos label alone has put out more than 60 discs containing pieces by Sor (including their wonderful ongoing series cataloguing his complete guitar works), and all of the heavy players have taken their turns diving into his works at one time or another. (2016’s Manuel Barrueco excellent Fernando Sor disc, heralding Sor as “The Beethoven of the Guitar”—a label accorded to Sor by his peers—is still fresh in my mind, for example.) But Sor is just so appealing and accessible, with such an incredible range of pieces in his quiver, who wouldn’t want to try their hand(s) at his oeuvre?
Finnish guitarist Petri Kumela does a superb job on this all-Sor outing, which mixes some of the most popular pieces (the Gran Solo, the Mozart Variations, the Fantasie Élégiaque, the Andante Largo, Op. 5, for example) with some relatively less-played numbers from his Estudios and the complete Seis Bagatelles. Kumela is certainly not the first modern player to play Sor on a period instrument, but this 1826 René Lacôte guitar, recorded with tremendous care by producer/engineer Simon Fox-Gál, really does sound magnificent here—warm but exquisitely clear, with assertive basses and the perfect amount of ambience to bring out the instrument’s golden and at times quite pianistic tones. In his album notes on the instrument, luthier Gabriele Lodi (who restored the guitar in 2014) writes, “This particular instrument was made at a very important point in Lacôte’s career, when he was applying the directions and suggestions of Fernando Sor to his construction. Lacôte was able to meet the demands of Sor with a guitar model that respected the construction and aesthetics of the traditional French style, but at the same time had a more flexible soundboard to evoke the Spanish guitar sound that Sor always loved so much.” In short, this instrument was made to play this music, and Kumela is definitely up to the challenge. It sounds like living history, and it’s a joy from beginning to end.
