More Details on Goran Sollscher: Cavatina
Grand Prix was successfully re-launched in 2007. These recordings, handpicked from every corner of the repertoire, contain performances singled out for praise by critics and performances that have in many cases been crowned with the world's most prestigious record awards – most items are available at mid-price for the fist time. The cover design on these CDs incorporates the original cover into the overall image.
"Göran Söllscher is at his finest here. The programme is essentially Romantic and very tuneful and atmospheric. The indelible opening Myers Cavatina is of course the justly famous Deerhunter theme, while even the anonymous Romance will be familiar. Whether in the attractive Llobet arrangements of Catalan folksongs, the two evocative portraits from Tárrega, or Yocoh's colourful Sakura (from Japan), this is the kind of music making that remains in the memory, for even while the playing is relaxed there is no doubt about Söllscher's magnetism. Hoagy Carmichael's Georgia on my mind gives the feeling of a final lollipop as the stylish closing encore. The sound is most naturally balanced, and the immediacy and realism are apparent." - Penguin Guide
