I don't know how it's regarded in the context of modern classical guitar, but years ago I was struck while listening to the radio in the middle of the night by the Prince's Toys suite by Nikita Koshkin. I wouldn't have thought that a solo guitar could create such expressionistic and surreal atmospheres.

Not a piece I've ever played but it's pretty exceptional in its integration of that range of extended techniques and works well as a large-scale programmatic composition. I hadn't listened in a long time but put on Mikulka's recording tonight. There's not that much that goes as far with extended techniques but if you don't know the Ginastera Sonata, I would definitely recommend it. Koshkin's Usher Waltz is a popular one at Halloween.

No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Sunday, 8 May 2022 03:46 (one year ago) link
