 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
This CD can be considered a presentation of, or even an homage to, six great contemporary composers and their guitar music. They can all be placed on an international list of the most important guitar composers in the filed of so-called new music. All of them write directly for the acoustic classical guitar. These are composers who normally travel far from the inner circles of the guitar. Ordinarily, they are engaged in writing large-scale, slowly-composed symphonic works for orchestra, operas, string quartets and vocal works. It is seldom that such composers find their way to the guitar on their own. It is often on the initiative of a guitarist that they are enticed into finding suitable means for expressing the sound of the instrument and for exploring the world of its expressive possibilities. Listen to how these six composers who do not play the guitar are able to project the guitar into new and often surprising sound contexts without distancing themselves from traditional methods of playing. Their conceptions of the realization of their musical ideas are seldom disturbed by the difficulty of what they are writing. A wooden box with six nylon strings - that is what is available. So old-fashioned, but also so lovely and fascinating.
