This ‘original instruments’ CD of C17th virtuoso guitar music shows the baroque guitar as a solo instrument equal to its competitor at the time, the lute. The music is courtly and yet infused with Spanish passion. Many of these works are unique to this CD and provide an excellent opportunity for the instrument’s widely varying textures and styles of playing to be enjoyed.
