Integral work for guitar by Carlos Payés

Recording in progress

Néstor Benito and Pablo Sala are working on the project for this new album that has as its objective the diffusion of the integral work for guitar of the prominent Salvadoran composer Carlos Payés, in the framework of the project "The guitar in Argentina & Latin America" that Néstor Benito directs, promoting important Argentine and Latin American composers and their little-known or unpublished guitar works.

Pablo Sala is in charge of the recording and technical direction.

Carlos Payés
The passionate music of Carlos Payés immerses us in a deep world of longings, of subtle feelings with great technical and melodic accuracy. His work contains true romantic gems of guitar literature such as "El Adiós", "Lejanía", "Variations on a Mozart Theme" (from the opera Don Giovanni), "Galopa", "Toccata Criolla", the "Salvadoran Songs", and the "Italian Concert" for guitar and orchestra, among others.
