If you love the rich and expressive sound of the classical guitar, Allegro Sinfônico is a must-have. In this compelling release, acclaimed Brazilian guitarist Edson Lopes brings together tradition, virtuosity, and passion in a program designed to captivate from the very first note.
The album features masterpieces by iconic composers such as Ferdinando Carulli, Dionisio Aguado, and Mauro Giuliani, alongside the Romantic richness of Napoleon Coste. The highlight is the powerful Allegro sinfônico by Agustin Barrios — a dynamic, technically brilliant work that gives the album its name and leaves a lasting impression.
The recording also includes carefully crafted transcriptions, a tradition championed by legends such as Francisco Tarrega and Andres Segovia, offering variety and broad appeal for both seasoned collectors and new listeners.
With impeccable tone and confident interpretation, Edson Lopes delivers a powerful listening experience. Allegro Sinfônico is more than a recording — it’s an invitation to experience the grandeur of the classical guitar at its finest.
