Paulo Bellinati
Paulo Bellinati's guitar writing draws on Brazilian dance and song. His Jongo has become a recital staple, full of playful rhythmic drive, while pieces such as Um Amor de Valsa and Baião de Gude show the same ear for colour and groove.
As a guitarist-composer he has carried Brazilian idioms onto the classical stage, writing music that sits easily beside Barrios and Walton in recital programmes. He also recovered, transcribed and recorded the guitar works of Aníbal Augusto Sardinha (Garoto), returning that repertoire to players through a two-volume edition and a dedicated recording.
Compositions by Paulo Bellinati appear on
Midsummer's Night
Jonathan Paget’s solo guitar recital traces an enchanted night-world of magic, mischief and romance, from Walton’s sparkling Five Bagatelles through Barrios’s Paraguayan dreamscapes to Sculthorpe’s Aboriginal dreaming.
Sidekick
Sidekick is the debut CD from guitar duo Ziggy and Miles. It pairs new works written for the brothers with their own arrangement of Debussy’s Clair de Lune and repertoire from Spain, Latin America and Australia that has shaped their musical identity.
