In “Echomythia” my interest focused on modern music for guitar and especially on such music orienting itself towards jazz and latin sounds. Besides, the original title of this CD was “Jazz, Latin and Brazilian vibes for guitar”; however, the synthetic word “Echomythia” attracted me because of its poetical spirit. Some of the compositions contained in “Echomythia” stem directly from jazz and they have been arranged or just transcribed for solo classic guitar. Alongside with them, authentic guitar works are also presented. Some of these works have been regarded, for many years, as landmarks in the guitar repertoire; some others, although not so well known, are to be considered as significant contributions to the literature of the instrument.
