This compilation includes three mini guitar concerti- pieces that
guitar afficionados will be delighted to have in their collections. Guitar
Concertante showcases a fascinatingly wide range of expression- from George
Crumb’s haunting and surreal Quest, to the witty and brilliant Psalmodies
by the Dane, Poul Ruders, to Lennon’s romantic gypsy fantasy, Zingari.
Called by The New York Times, "This country’s pre-eminent
interpreter of contemporary guitar works", David Starobin is the only
guitarist ever to have been awarded Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Career
Prize. Guitar Concertante presents three major works composed for Starobin
during the past decade.
