Classical guitarist Meng Su performs Where the Echo Sings by Viet Cuong (b.1990). This comes via the Omni Foundation and their Youtube channel (go subscribe). Amazing performance with such clarity and control over the texture as well as excellent dynamic phrasing. Very effective composition in a unrelenting perpetual style that can be challenging for guitar but worked very well in the hands of Meng Su.
Here’s a small bio of the composer via their Youtube description:
Described as “alluring” and “stirring” by The New York Times, the “arresting” (Gramophone), “irresistible” (San Francisco Chronicle), and “exhilarating” (Chicago Tribune) music of Vietnamese-American composer Viet Cuong (b. 1990) has been commissioned and performed on six continents by musicians and ensembles such as the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Eighth Blackbird, Kronos Quartet, Sandbox Percussion, Alarm Will Sound, Sō Percussion, PRISM Quartet, and Dallas Winds, among many others.
