Villa-Lobos: Guitar Concerto -2nd mov.

Canadian-born Dale Kavanagh is one of the guitar world’s most gifted interpreters. Between 1986 and 1988 Ms. Kavanagh was a top prize-winner in Spain’s “Segovia Competition”, Italy’s “Gargnano Competition”, Switzerland’s “Neuchâtel Com petition” and First and Special Prize winner in Finland’s “Scandinavian International Guitar Competition”. Dale Kavanagh received her Bachelor of Music degree at Dalhousie University in Canada, then completed her graduate studies with the Solisten Diplom at the Musik Akademie der Stadt Basel with Oscar Ghiglia in Switzerland.

Previously released, here's a guitar recital that deserves a second hearing! In addition to Berkeley's modestly titled “Sonatina” (actually one of the most difficult compositions ever composed for the instrument) and an arrangement for guitar solo of the slow movement from Villa-Lobos' Guitar Concerto are several less well known works from that most popular of composers for the guitar, the late Joaquin Rodrigo. The perfect gift for your favorite guitar enthusiast.
