Pavel Kukhta - Guitar Recital

The classical guitar is capable of embracing a wide variety of national idioms, and winner of the 2015 Heinsberg International Guitar Competition Pavel Kukhta here presents works by composers from Belarus, Cuba, Spain, Catalonia, Brazil and France. The impressionism of Galina Gorelova's Castle of Mir joins Leo Brouwer's Afro-Cuban fusion of influences, and the extraordinary virtuosity of Rodrigo's recently discovered Toccata enlivens Roberto Gerhard's unconventional timbres, Eduardo Morales-Caso's boundary-pushing fantasy on a garden at the Alhambra Palace, Sergio Assad's emotive meditation on Rio de Janeiro and Roland Dyens' plaintive evocation of Cuban moods.
