Although one would not automatically associate the guitar with Russia, the history of the Russian guitar goes far back, as early as 1790 the tradition starts with a 7‐string instrument, continuing to flourish in the 19th century as a salon instrument, and gaining the status of a serious concert instrument in the 20th century.

This 4CD set offers a fascinating musical journey presenting known and lesser known composers Asafiev, Baev, Dzhaparidze, Denisov, Ivanov‐ Kramskoi, Kharisov, Gubaidulina, Kikta, Kozlov, Poplyanova, Rudnev.

Another innovating and stimulating issue by great Italian guitarist Cristiano Porqueddu, who already issued more than 50 CD's with Brilliant Classics covering a vast amount of great and neglected guitar repertoire.

The excellent and extensive liner notes are written by renowned guitarist
Oleg Timofeyev.
