This album offers a significant sample, presenting music for solo guitar by four important composers: Cyril Scott, Lennox Berkeley, Benjamin Britten and William Walton.Each of these four composers, though stylistically very different, took the guitar out of the salonesque environment of prettiness and quasi-exotic couleur locale and raised it to the level of other prominent concert instruments, the music being rich, challenging and holding an important place in their oeuvre.

Played by Andrea Dieci, “A true star of the classical guitar” (Corriere della sera), one of the most notable guitarists of his generation.
