He has recorded the CD Guitar Collection of Francesc de Paula Soler for Mel Bay Publications (US), and has published with Mel Bay and “Casa Beethoven Publicacions”, “Catalana d’Edicions Musicals”, “Clivis Publicacions”, “Editorial Tenora” and “Editorial Boileau” (Spain).

He has received numerous prizes and been conferred many awards, including the title of the Honorary Citizen of Dallas (1988); Medal of St. Vladimir from the Russian Orthodox Church (1988); Plaque of the Catalan Catholic Church Council (1995); Membership in the Royal Order of Christopher Columbus (1999); the Golden Key and Honorary Citizen of the city of Corpus Christi, Texas (2000); Medal and Diploma of the “US Military Academy of West Point” (2001); Tribute to Francesc de Paula Soler of the US House of Representatives (2001, 2002 and 2004); Honorary Membership in the “Viva la Musica Club”, Washington State (2003) and Honorary Membership in the Spain Association of the Pacific Northwest (2007), in recognition for his artistic merits.

The Washington Post provided the following review: “Soler showed himself to be unusually sensitive to color and the rhapsodic rise and fall of the phrases” adding: ”he played dazzling solos with his left hand on the fingerboard, unleashed a battery of right-hand percussive effects on the body of the guitar, and engaged in some creative pitch-bending on blues-tinged melodies”

Known as "The Poet of the Guitar", Maestro Soler’s wide international activity as a performer has brought critics to hail him as one of the most notable names of the guitar world.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM


The recital is divided into two parts: in the first the artist presents, like a musical rainbow, some of the most representative composers of the Spanish and Latin American guitar. The second gives the audience a panorama of the contemporary music for this instrument.

The program begins with “Sueño” (Dream), when Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909) uses the difficult trémolo technique; this composition is one of the best examples of Tárrega's Romantic aesthetics. Then, the great composer Heitor Villa-lobos (1887-1959), with his suggestive “Preludio nº 3” (homage to J.S. Bach) continuing with the inspired “Estudio de Concierto nº 11” one of his most genuine works for the guitar. Opens the next group, the sensitive piece by Manuel María Ponce (1882-1948) “Scherzino Mexicano”, continuing with the tango-style piece, “Adiós Nonino” by Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992), originally written for the Quinteto Astor Piazzolla and dedicated to his father. The festive and rhythmic “Batucada” by Isaías Savio (1900-1977), ends this group. Opens the next section the warm nana (lullaby) “Drume Negrita” by Eliseo Grenet (1893-1950), followed by the popular dance, of Incan origin from the Bolivian altiplano, “Huayno”, where the guitar tries to imitate the charango, and ends this section the popular “Chopí”, from the suite “Las Tres Palomas” by Pablo Escobar (1900-19??), a striking combination of music from the harp and Paraguayan dance.



The second part begins with the Paraguayan Agustín Pío Barrios “Indio Mangore” (1871-1942), with his emotive “Andante religioso” from “La Catedral”; by English composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976), the March-Like from his Nocturnal, set of variations about the Dowland’s First Book of Songs or Ayres of Four Parts (1597). Fruit of an original inspiration, the Prelude & Air from the “Quatre pieces breves”, by Swiss composer Frank Martin (1890 1974), is based on ancient popular French dances. Ends this section the Pole–French composer Alexander Tansman (1897-1986), experimenting the baroque style in his contemporary “Danza Pomposa”. Later a jazz-like composition by English composer John William Duarte (1919-2004), “Sua Cosa”, written in the Wes Montgomery style, followed by “La Salle de Billard” from “Le Pavillon de Banlieu” where the French composer Olivier Bensa (b. 1951), tries to imitate the pool game (Pay attention to the last ball). This group ends with the “Danza” by Antonio Ruiz-Pipó (1934-1997), from his “Canción y Danza nº 1”. The next group opens with the popular hymn They Must Know by American composer Harry Dixon Loes (1892-1965). Then, Mill Grove Farm, by Italian guitarist and composer Giovanni Unterberger (b. 1949), a piece that brings to mind the purest bebop style, ending this group the swing “Bluefinger” by American composer Jerry Reed (b. 1937) who drew his inspiration from Chet Atkins “Alone”. The program ends with a piece by Soler (b. 1949), Lady M, Little Rolling Stone, where the composer combines the classic stereotypes of Blues and Rock, with the newest and most surprising effects that can be drawn from the guitar.

Riddle of the Guitar
In the round

crossways,

Six maidens

are dancing.

Three of flesh

and three of silver.

Yesterday´s dreams haunt them

but they are held embraced

by a Golden Polyphemus:

¡The Guitar!


Adivinanza de la Guitarra
En la redonda

encrucijada

seis doncellas

bailan.

Tres de carne

y tres de plata.

Los sueños de ayer las buscan,

pero las tiene abrazadas

un Polifemo de Oro:

¡La Guitarra!
Federico García Lorca


Garcia Lorca, attributes to the guitar

occult powers,

and return again and again

in his poems

to the image of its strings

spread out like the arms

of Polyphemus,

waiting to trap our souls …
