The album’s title caught my attention, contrasting yet connected as life presents both melancholies and joys to us. A wide variety of repertoire is presented as I expected, the playing is phenomenal and world-class. It is outstanding to see how well each piece is interpreted. Although the original compositions are very complicated yet they are easy to listen to, valuable additions to the repertoire of classical guitar. I hadn’t enjoyed listening to an album so much for a long time, “Melancholies and Joys” certainly is a game changer!
