Fernando Sor is best known for his guitar repertoire. This is the first album to be released with some of his most important symphonic works. Sor wrote a number of pieces for the stage during his life, some of them during his stay in Catalonia, such as the ballets Cendrillon, Hercule et Omphale, and Alphonse et Léonore. Once again under the baton of Sir Neville Marriner, the Cadaqués Orchestra made a recording that seeks to reconstruct the sound environment of the Spanish classical venues.
