“Nocturne” is a concept album of romantic and meditative guitar music, with works by de Falla, Mompou, Ponce, Castelnuovo‐Tedesco, Barrios, Llobet, Tarrega, Sor, Rodrigo and others, selected and performed by acclaimed Brazilian guitarist Flávio Apro to form what he calls the Nocturne Suite. The keys of each piece follow on from each other according to the notes of the scale, while the alternating tempi of the works, with fluidity interspersed with moments of rest, encourage a truly appreciative sense of time. Mr. Apro describes this recording as his “gift” to his late teacher, Monina Távora.
