Review Text
Seasoned multi-style performer Karl Wohlwend has finally released a full-length CD of solo classical guitar music. Here you will find warhorse compositions such as the Five Preludes of Heitor Villa-lobos as well as the rarely heard Fall of Birds by Russian composer Nikita Koshkin. Hailed as an 'extraordinary talent' with 'beautiful tone, command of technique, and sensitive musicianship,' Wohlwend's playing on this disc is at the same time comfortably familiar yet refreshingly new. In a world of cookie-cutter uber-perfect characterless classical recordings, this disc brings a high level of warmth and intimacy. You will feel as though Karl is sitting right next to you, serenading you through an evening's journey in a lush soundscape.
