Abril / Francisco Bernier Vademecum CD

This collection of pieces by Spanish master composer Anton Garci?a Abril (b. 1933), composed in 1987, although not a cycle is nonetheless a coherent collection conceived as a didactic handbook. Vademecum explores the guitar in contemporary terms with a broad range of pieces that exude melodic beauty and demonstrate the composer's deep understanding of the guitar, it's sonorities and techniques. No guitarist could be better equipped than Francisco Bernier to present this work on disc, a virtuoso of the guitar whose insight has been deepened through his friendship with the composer.
