I knew the Chamber Music by Erik Marchelie. The first recordings of Cello and Guitar music I bought from the Jones & Maruri duo had several pieces by Marchelie. It was a discovery because pieces like "Don Quijote y Dulcinea" or "Eclipse" prove the first class and grand category of music by Marchelie.
To discover this production is a great surprise to me. A full album with solo guitar music by Marchelie is unique. Marchelie is a guitarist and a composer. So these pieces are among the best new "classy" guitar music you can find this days. He has a strong composer personality. When you listen one of his compositions almost immediately you can say: it's a Marchelie piece.
I am not a fan of Catherine Liolios playing but she is just right for these pieces. She plays a Dominique Field guitar, probably the best guitar maker right now in the world. The recording is superb.
