Guitar Recital: Barthe, Virgile - BOGDANOVIĆ, D. / BUXTEHUDE, D. / MAW, N. / MENDELSSOHN, Felix / SCARLATTI, D.
Virgile Barthe, winner of the 2025 Guitar Foundation of America Competition, presents works ranging from the Baroque to the 21st century performed with his impeccable virtuosity and artistry. This recital takes us from arrangements of Domenico Scarlatti’s deeply expressive sonatas and Buxtehude’s brilliant Suite, to the lyrical Songs without Words of Mendelssohn and the haunting Music of Memory by Nicholas Maw. The album closes with Dušan Bogdanović’s Third Sonata, a truly virtuoso piece with its quotes from Stravinsky and musical influences from the Balkans, jazz and the Renaissance.
