Acclaimed for her lyricism and virtuosic technique, Sharon Isbin is widely acknowledged to be one of today's finest guitarists. This collection is a showcase for her extraordinary versatility, bringing together cornerstones of the guitar concerto repertoire by Rodrigo and Villa-Lobos, arrangements of perennial Baroque favourites, concertos by Christopher Rouse and Tan Dun that were written for Isbin herself, and two imaginatively programmed recital discs including the Grammy Award-winning Dreams of a World.
