Drew Henderson plays Introduction & Caprice, Op. 23 by Italian guitarist/composer Giulio Regondi (1822–1872). If you don’t know Regondi, he was a child prodigy, Sor even dedicated Souvenir d’amitié, op. 46 to Regondi in 1831 when he was only nine…

Nikita Koshkin (I presume) conducting his own work (also presumed) “Changing the Guard” with a youth guitar orchestra. I like the violent thrusts of sound and angular lines. Cool work for a youth group. I’m sure you are familiar with Koshkin’s compositions…

The excellent Duo Resonances (Frédérique Luzy & Pierre Bibault) play Alberto Ginastera’s Suite de Danzas Criollas Op.15. You can check out their CD via their site or Amazon: Duo Resonances: Guitar Works. Beautiful sound and video…and people for that matter!

The Agnew McAllister Duo (Aisling Agnew and Matthew McAllister) perform ‘Sivi Grivi’ by Alan Thomas live during the Lake Recording Session in the Port of Menteith Church. Lots of energy, works well (listen to the end!). Always enjoy hearing McAllister.

Korean guitarist Kyu Hee Park plays 3rd movement of Mauro Giuliani’s concerto op.30. She makes it look so easy. I really like her ultra clear musical ideas in shaping, articulation, and colour. So direct and well executed. Hard to accomplish…
An excellent performance of Spanish Dance no. 1 from La Vida Breve by Manuel De Falla. Performed by Gohar Vardanyan via her YouTube. I thought this was tricky enough on two guitars but Gohar rocks it. Nice one. Guitar by Jean Rompré.
