PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A SUPERB NEW CLASSICAL GUITAR RECORDING
Andrés Segovia Archive
Spanish Composers
Roberto Moronn Pérez
Street date May 14, 2013
SAN FRANCISCO - The genesis for this unique project is a collection of pieces recovered in May 2001 at
Segovia's home in Spain. These pieces were dedicated to Segovia or commissioned by him, involving
composers from eight countries. They were subsequently published as “The Segovia Archive Series”
by Edizione Musicale Bèrben.
Guitarist Roberto Moronn Pérez researched these newly recovered works and found some pieces that had
never been recorded, and those that had were handicapped by poor visibility in the marketplace and
limited distribution. This realization sparked the thought that here was an opportunity: a series of
recordings organized around the nationalities of the composers in the Segovia Archive. The Spanish composers
recorded here are the first in the series,to be followed soon by an album of the French composers.
Spanish-born Roberto Moronn Pérez studied in Madrid, Italy and the UK, graduating with first-class honours
and a degree in Musicology from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. He completed a postgraduate
program at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London,where he received the Julian
Bream Prize and was selected to participate at the Wigmore Hall Award. A prize-winner of many
international competitions, Roberto has appeared as soloist in Spain, Switzerland, Italy, the USA, the United Kingdom,
Ukraine, Germany and Japan, and in concert with numerous Spanish orchestras. Recently, he played the famous Concierto de Aranjuez with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine.
This new album was recorded in the lovely acoustics of Holy Trinity Church,Weston,
Hertfordshire, U.K. It was produced, recorded and edited by the outstanding U.K. engineer
John Taylor. Mastering is by Reference Recordings’ own Grammy®-winning engineer
Keith O. Johnson.
FRESH! is part of Reference Recordings’ mission to encourage new artists and give them a strong
platform for promotion and sales nationally and internationally. Says Executive Director Marcia Martin,
“It is exciting to add this avenue to RR Technical Director Keith O. Johnson’s life-long role in mentoring
new artists. We also are pleased to feature exceptional producing/engineering teams from outside our
company on Fresh!”
Reference Recordings are distributed in the USA by Allegro Media Group, and internationally through a network
of independent distributors listed at www.ReferenceRecordings.com
