Here are four short pieces I recently performed for the “DC Corner” group of Classical Guitar players who gather monthly to play for each other and gain some performance experience.  The first piece is by Alexander Scriabin – Prelude, Op. 16, No. 4, in E flat minor (for piano). Scriabin went on to write a whole set of variations on this theme dedicated to Andrew Segovia in 1972.  Here I play just the theme arranged in A minor by guitarist Matt Palmer.

I follow the Prelude with three short pieces by Gulli Björnsson titled Landslög – (landscapes) from a set of 11 pieces for solo guitar drawing inspiration from Icelandic landscapes. These three pieces work well together and are atmospheric in style. Björnsson is a young musician/composer who often combines electric instruments and visuals in his performances. I have really enjoyed exploring his music.

I am using two new microphones in this recording – Line Audio CM4s. They are well balanced across all frequencies which is essential when trying capture such a sensitive and delicate instrument as the classical guitar.  Enjoy.
