Thank you Simon for another wonderful podcast. It’s always interesting to learn background information on composers. I think it is very special, too, that Castellonuevo-Tedesco’s granddaughter has made it her prioritiy to preserve his legacy.
Wonderful interview Simon. Thank you for bringing this composer to life for me!
Great interview, Simon! As soon it was finished I saw Segovia play the third movement of the opus 99. I will checking out other works from Castellonuevo-Tedesco today. Thanks for the inspiration!
