BLASCO DE NEBRA, M.: Keyboard Sonatas (Complete), Vol. 3 (Pedro Casals)

Acclaimed as ‘a most nimble and clean fingered soloist’, Pedro Casals is an ideal interpreter of Manuel Blasco de Nebra’s delightful keyboard music. On this third and final volume, he performs four two-movement sonatas using the first published editions preserved in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. In each sonata, a gentle Adagio rich in harmonic interest and legato in character prefaces a faster, highly virtuosic second movement of a lighthearted character which frequently emulates the agility and vigour of guitar music. Volumes 1 (8.572068) and 2 (8.572069) are also available.
