‘She is a magnificent player...I am full of admiration for her’ (Graham Wade, eminent writer and scholar of classical guitar) Sergei RUDNEV (1955-): The Old Lime Tree (Lipa vekovaia) (1978) Hans Werner HENZE (1926-2012): Drei Tentos (1958) Alan RAWSTHORNE (1905-1971): Elegy (1971) Hans HAUG (1900-1967): Étude (Rondo fantastico) (1955) Hans Werner HENZE: Royal Winter Music: First Sonata on Shakespearean Characters: I. Gloucester (1976) Konstantin VASSILIEV (1970-): Three Forest Paintings (1999) This recording covers a wide range of guitar sonorities and approaches, from the traditional folk song of Russia to the more avant-garde expressiveness of Rawsthorne and Henze. The classical guitar is able to absorb many styles and historical periods – that instrumental versatility is a unique attribute which recitalists are thrilled to demonstrate.
