Concierto del Sur

Description

According to Segovia, Ponce was the composer who had the greatest influence on the revival of the guitar repertory and the reinstatement of the guitar as a concerto instrument. Indeed his sonatas, preludes and other works form a corpus of guitar music rivalled in the 20th century only by the works of Villa-Lobos or Brouwer, and his Concierto del sur is unequalled in its balance of soloist with orchestra. --Grove Dictionary of Music
