Volume 1 Volume 2 with CD-titles listed below:
Rico Stover has completed work on a new edition of the Complete Works of Agustín Barrios Mangoré published by Mel Bay Publications. Featuring 112 musical works by the Paraguayan master, the edition totals 528 pages and comes in two separate volumes. Volume 1 has 67 works and Volume 2 has 45 works plus 82 pages of Critical Notes and a CD of Barrios playing 21 original compositions taken from recordings he did in the 1920's in Argentina.
Volume 1 (67 works)...................................................$39.95
Volume 2 (45 Works + Critical Notes and CD).............$49.95
This new edition is far superior to anything previous and is available now.
I now have copies ready to ship of "The Complete Works of Barrios". The total will be $89.90 and shipping. Rico lives about 5 miles from my store and I got to see the mammoth working copies while it was a work in progress. This Fulbright scholar has outdone himself once again with this newest treasure.
These editions contain a few photos of Barrios that are not in the biography " Six Silver Moonbeams-The Life and Times of Agustin Barrios Mangoré". Then again, there are others that are from the biography that were 4 1/4" wide and are now 7 1/8". This is the most beautiful treatment of "page turns" that could be, to fill a blank page. There are concert programs from 1916 in Brazil and 1939 in Costa Rica. There is a photo of Martin Borda y Pagola and Barrios that is enlargened to fill a page. I spoke on the phone with Martin's daughter, Aida, for 20 minutes in 2000. She has since passed away, having been born in 1916. She was the first of two persons, who knew Barrios, I have had the fortune to speak with, the other person walked into my store to buy a CD of maestro Agustin Barrios. In volume two there is a testimonial by Barrios for the guitars of Romeo Di Giorgio of Sao Paulo, Brazil. This dates from September 1918. What an edition.
There is a thematic index of the pieces in the front of each volume, which are arranged alphabetically. These editions contain some manuscripts in facsimile form, such as "Julia Florida" and pieces by J. S. Bach and Napoleon Coste. These are very beautiful to the eye. Each of the piece is fingered and is easy to read in these editions that were begun in 1997. This massive amount of work will enrich your life.
The 82 pages of critical notes deals with naming the sources of each transcription: manuscript or recording, and even historical details about the piece. Every measure that might be different in comparing different sources is notated, in the thoroughness of the author. I joked with Rico, that someone would release a complete CD set with every possible variation that can be performed.
These two volumes weigh 3 pounds and 11 ounces. With packing materials they ship at a 5 pound rate.
