Here’s a freshly posted video from the talented Australian guitarist Callum Henshaw<\/a>, whose Echo & Return<\/em> <\/a>album of a couple of years ago was a favorite of mine. Henshaw is one of several really good young players Down Under who are making waves both internationally and at home. Here, he plays a fine version of four of Manuel M. Ponce’s 20\u00a0Variations sur ‘Folia de Espa\u00f1a’ et Fugue<\/em>, composed in 1930 at the suggestion of Andr\u00e9s Segovia, based on a violin sonata by Arcangelo Corelli (1643\u20131713), who had adapted it from well-known folk melodies. In early October 1930, in London, Segovia chose to record half of the variations. On Henshaw’s\u00a0Echo & Return<\/em>, he plays all 20, covering more than 25 minutes. The most influential of the modern recordings of the complete Variations<\/em> is undoubtedly John Williams’ 1978 version on an album simply titled Manuel Ponce<\/em>. Among the other notable contemporary guitarists to take on the entire piece are Marcin Dylla, Timo Korhonen, Thomas Viloteau, Piera Dadomo, and Andrea Dieci.<\/p>\n

Cal Henshaw’s most recent album is the just-released Forest of Dreams<\/a>, featuring pieces by Barrios, Llobet, Brouwer, and Australians Phillip Houghton and Graeme Koehne; produced by Australian guitar titan (and one of Henshaw’s main teachers) Tim Kain. I’m look forward to checking that one out.\u00a0\u00a0\u2014Blair Jackson<\/em><\/p>\n
