FERNANDO SOR

Le Calme: Fernado Sor Late Works

William Carter, guitar

World-renowned guitarist William Carter presents an appealing collection of works by Spanish guitar virtuoso and composer Fernando Sor, a much-anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed Early Works

recording of 2010 (named Gramophone Editor’s Choice).

• Sor’s late works demonstrate highly elaborate structures and technique which tested even the finest students and pushed the boundaries of the instrument.

• This second collection showcases some of Sor’s most commercially popular works with as much appeal for listeners today as for the original cosmopolitan audiences.

• William Carter employs a performance practice endorsed by Sor himself - playing with the finger tips, creating an intimate and unforgettable sound.

• A founding-member of the famous Palladian Ensemble, Carter has a deserved reputation as one of the finest classical guitarists with critically acclaimed performances as an orchestral player, chamber

musician and soloist.

• William Carter is a member of The Academy of Ancient Music, The English Concert and Palladians and is well known as a regular performer at Early Music Festivals.

• William Carter’s passion for the baroque guitar enthuses his playing with a freshness and vitality, coupled with faultless technique.
