Description Towner is one of the most diversely talented musicians of the past half-century, having made notable recordings of classical, jazz, folk and world music.

Along with band members Paul McCandless, Glen Moore, and Collin Walcott, Towner left the Winter Consort in 1970 to form the group Oregon , which over the course of the 1970s issued a number of highly influential records mixing folk music, Indian classical forms, and avant-garde jazz-influenced free improvisation. As well as collaborating in concert and/or recording with many artists, Towner has recorded over two-hundred of his instrumental compositions, with works being commissioned and performed by some of the world?s leading orchestras. Available here is the second volume of solo works for guitar, including Always By Your Side , The Hollows , Toledo and more.

For the first time this edition presents work for Guitar solo and for Guitar duet by Graciano Tarragó grouped into different collections. Despite the fact that the composer published the set of works separately (with the exception of the collections of studies and the Catalan Christmas songs) it is not difficult to see that a natural classification surges from its formal structure from its source of inspiration and from its intent upon observing the works as a whole.The main objective of this revision was to update its presentation to meet the demands of the Guitar world today and to offer scores that ease the introduction to the study of this copious collectionof works. The works hold an indisputable musical beauty and demand technical virtuosic knowledge of the highest level.

Franco-algérien fingerstyle guitariste Pierre Bensusan est un talent unique. Son sound et le style confond classification, être profondément originale et encore familier et expressif. Son empreinte est sur elle que ce soit son folk antérieure et axée sur le Celtic rendus, son matériau improvisation de forme libre, ou dans les paramètres, en solo ou ensemble. Sans aucun doute, il est un des meilleurs joueurs de DADGAD du monde. Sa musique atteint bien au-delà de l'idiome d'une guitare jouée dans un réglage atypique, vivant par la raison d'être que la musique n'est pas faite pour un instrument spécifique, mais sur les ingrédients musicaux et comment vous les combinez. Dans ce premier DVD Pierre enseigne 10 compositions, explorant les techniques et les compétences nécessaires pour jouer, tout en permettant aussi un aperçu perspicace dans l'esprit de l'un des guitaristes de grands du monde. / Guitare
