Francesco Molino siempre fue el rival de Ferdinando Carulli. El celebérrimo cuadro de "La guitarromanie" Es una pelea entre carullistas y molinistas. Siempre consideré menor a Molino, hasta que descubrí este concierto, inspiradísimo y arrebatador, inteligente y expresivo.
Thank you very much for the comment and clarifications about the two composers. (Guitar is one of my favorite instruments, so I occasionally post classical guitar works, no matter who they belong to).
Thank you! You're right, I'm wrong with the picture! But uf ... I opened the wikipedia for "Francesco Molino composer" and this was the photo that Wiki gave me... Another time I will check with more attention. Thanks again.

@@sibarit101 In fact, the Wikipedia article contains no photo. So Google automatically inserts one based on another article about Francesco Molino, which unfortunately contains the wrong one.
Remarcabil! [ Nu am înţeles de în poza-medalion apare nu italianul Francesco Molino, ci un contemporan al său, compozitor şi ghitarist, spaniolul Fernando Sor (1778-1839) - a interpretat el acest concert, ca solist la chitară?]
Pepe Romero is among the best guitarist. Beautiful interpretation. I didn't know Molino, but found this piece at same level as the best ones of the more famous Carulli. Will certainly deep dive hoping YT or Spotify have gotten more. At first listening I hear a good balance between soloist and orchestra that's seldom the case of similar concertos written by musician mainly dedicated to the solo music of several instruments. Think about Chopin, for instance (without willingness to compare Chopin with Molino....). Chopin conciertos are all but balanced. I don't recall who said he wanted orchestra to shut up and let piano only play..... Perhaps Schumann said that..... Molino masters orchestra without nuances but does not leave it as just a servant of the soloist, instead. Molino style is certainly not innovative but plain mainstream / follower, at least here, of early XIX century French /Northern Italian instrumental Music. However pleasant, well written and without cliché nor easy to listen effects. Thank you again for another great upload.
Not many composers took the guitar seriously as a concert instrument in those days, so Molina's concerto is (almost by default) one of the best. But this doesn't mean it's profound or path-breaking. It's pleasant, but please-don't compare it to Chopin.
@@GoldinDr you didn't read carefully what I wrote. I compared Molino concert with those of Carulli. I cited Chopin to talk about bad balance between soloist and orchestra that is quite a different topic. And I guess no one can say that Chopin concertos have good balance because they are a very well known example (likewise Paganini violin concertos) of works written for soloists to show off with a very minor and trivial role of orchestra
I have already quoted above: "Molino's Guitar Concerto was published probably in the 1830's, the precise date is difficult to determine because Molino, like many of his contemporaries, preferred to act as his own publisher."
