Mozart and Haydn: Classical Guitar Transcriptions

Listen or buy via Spotify, Apple, or BandCamp.
Great to hear the new album by Andrew Wilder with 14 of his own transcriptions of works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) and Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809). The album even includes a transcription of a Mozart work rediscovered in 2018.
Wilder is a fantastic player with an amazing rhythmic delivery and momentum. His performances also have meticulous motivic exploration and beautiful phrasing. Mozart and Haydn rarely sound so natural in the hands of a guitarist. You might also be interested in his previous recording which I thought was amazing as well, Bach: Complete Lute Works.
