[ Erato Warner Classics / 4 CD Box Set ]

Release Date: Wednesday 1 February 2017

The many faces of the guitar are explored by Sharon Isbin, hailed as "the pre-eminent guitarist of our time" and twice a Grammy Award winner. Its origins in the lute are acknowledged in the four graceful suites composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, while highlighting its Spanish connections are a sequence of Latin romances and Joaquín Rodrigo's unforgettable Concierto de Aranjuez.

Solo works by such celebrated figures as George Gershwin, William Walton and Benjamin Britten represent the viewpoint from the USA and British Isles.
