Enrico Maria Barbareschi plays Rebay's first Guitar Sonata in E major. This one's a charmer, kind of like if Brahm's Symphony No. 2 first movement were scaled down to a guitar-sized work.
At this point all seven of Rebay's solo guitar sonatas have been recorded and/or filmed so I'm hoping to, at last, get around to blogging through the seven sonatas. I might be wise to save that for a 2023 project because I've also got all that Matiegka sonata blogging I want to do. And Bogdanovic, and Ourkouzounov, and Guastavino, and Gilardino and ... heh ... Koshkin ... and Dzhaparidze's prelude and fugues and you get the idea how extravagantly backlogged Wenatchee The Hatchet is writing about music. :)
Anyway, first movement of the E major. I had been hoping this one would get recorded and, lo, it has. How soon Wenatchee The Hatchet can realistically blog through all seven of Ferdinand Rebay's solo guitar sonatas remains to be seen but I hope to be able to do so sometime between now and the end of 2023 if nothing unexpected comes up. Ditto for Matiegka and the late great Gilardino.
