John Doan - The Lost Music of Fernando Sor (Harpolyre)

In 1830 Fernando Sor, beloved as the "Father of the Classical Guitar", composed ten works for the harpolyre - an instrument thought then to be a "Perfected Guitar".  The music has been lost for nearly two centuries until John Doan recently rediscovered a rare original instrument and set out to make this extraordinary recording.  In essence, it is guitar music with expanded range, resonance, and effects written by one of the most imaginative guitarists that the instrument has ever known.  Each piece is a treasure that captures the elegance of a time in Paris when Sor's gift for lyric and expressive melodies was quite strong.  This magical performance will take the listener into a forgotten world that has remained lost with the harpolyre until now.
