Goran Krivokapic, Guitar

The Spanish-born guitarist and composer Fernando Sor was one
of the great figures in the history of the instrument.
His many brilliantly-crafted sets of studies contain some of
the most popular works for guitar.
The justly celebrated Twelve Studies, Op. 6, first published
in England where the exiled Sor was both a fashionable teacher
and a highly acclaimed performer, are notable for their fresh
and distinctive ideas and skilful and varied harmony.
Sor’s Introduction et Variations sur une Thème de Mozart,
is a lively and virtuosic treatment of Das klinget so herrlich
from Die Zauberflöte.
