Product Description

The Mexican composer Ponce is best remembered for the guitar music he wrote for his friend Andrés Segovia. Here is some of his piano solo music, most of it in recording premieres. The small character pieces and dances are entertaining and charming. The larger pieces in classical forms are boring. Someone else may love the Introduction, Prelude and Fugue on a Theme of Bach, but I'll stick with the lively Mexican dances. David Witten's playing is colorful and entertaining, and the disc is a good introduction to Ponce's piano music. --Leslie Gerber
