about

After having collaborated with the greatest guitarists of the contemporary world scene such as Derek Bailey and Bill Frisell, here is a new guitar collaboration for the great composer Gavin Bryars, this time with Sergio Sorrentino, pioneer and main symbol of the new repertoire for electric guitar. Gavin Bryars and Sergio Sorrentino has performed live together several times in duo and with the Gavin Bryars Ensemble; this is their first album together. The electric guitar role in Bryars music is important and peculiar. His music is acclaimed like one of the greatest contribution of the contemporary classical repertoire.
Gavin Bryars: Electric Guitar Works includes a selection of works for Electric Guitar (multiple guitars and guitar and piano) by Gavin Bryars, performed by Bryars himself together with Sergio Sorrentino (also producer of the release).
It includes the World Premiere Recording of the unedited early work "Catalogue" originally written by Bryars for Derek Bailey on 1965 and recorded live by Gavin and Sergio, and "Burroughs II" (2014) for multiple guitars recorded in studio by Sorrentino. The album also includes a new version of "The Squirrel and the Ricketty-Racketty Bridge" (1971), recorded live by Bryars and Sorrentino: well known is the previous version recorded by Bryars together with Brian Eno, Derek Bailey and Fred Frith released on Obscure Records in the Seventies.
