Monday, October 3, 2011
Raymond Burley's all Sor CD (originally released by ASV in the UK) will be re-released by Con Brio shortly. The CD received a number of glowing reviews both here and in the US.
Quotes include:
'If one had to select a single Sor recording to augment a collection, this disc would make an excellent candidate. Burley's playing is tasteful and refined, and he is in full command of his material. I can't recall having heard the great op.7 'Fantaisie' played better'.
Soundboard magazine (US).
'The essence of Raymond Burley's playing is refinement of technique allied to good tone, qualities which are well to the fore here. This is music that bears attentive listening and Burley's performance yields that opportunity. The disc has an air of authority about it. Classical Guitar magazine (UK).
