A recording career...
Agustin Maruri recorded his first album in 1990, since then he
has completed 23 CDs and continues every year with new programmes
for the guitar. Both in solo and in chamber music combinations
Maruri has recovered an important amount of musical works and composers.
In 1991 Agustin Maruri and British cellist Michael Kevin
Jones met in Madrid and started a concert activity that continues
successfully today. As a result of this collaboration three albums
have been released with original music for this beautiful instrumental
combination.
One important aspect in Maruri's discography is the emphasis on
repertoire, research and diffusion of forgotten composers.
Adam Falckenhagen, Wenzeslaus Thomas Matiegka, Leonhard von Call,
and many more have been rediscovered for the musical world.
Duos with violin,flute and violoncello, trios and quartets, a new
chamber music world with guitar never recorded before. Performers
like Michael Kevin Jones, Sabine Dreier and Gilles Coliard have
given their talents to these unique recordings.
In 1999 Maruri was invited by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York to start a series of recordings at the Museum, using
the historical instruments collection. Recorded in the Kirtlington
Park Room, in these programmes Maruri pays a tribute to his native
country Spain by recovering in first world recordings Spanish music
from the XIX century unknown until now.
Following the recordings using historical instruments, Maruri presents
the firsts world recording of Daniel Fortea compositions using a
Domingo Esteso guitar of 1928. Also, the Jones Maruri cello guitar
duo introduced a new recording of original music for this instrumental
combination with original compositions by Erik Marchelie, Ferdinad
Rebay,Anton Hauswirth,Radames Gnattali, Drew Hemenger and Walter
Jentsch.
For 2007 Agustin Maruri presents the only available CD in the market
presenting Andrés Segovia`s original compositions. For this
recording Maruri plays a 1962 Hermann Hauser II guitar that belonged
to Segovia.
