Description
Devoted to the music of Ivan Klinger, this album of premiere recordings from guitarist James Akers highlights works from this relatively unknown composer. Klingers seeming anonymity belies the composers substantial and high-quality oeuvre. Born in 1818 in Seltz near Kherson (todays Ukraine), Klinger was one of the few guitarists to devote himself to the Western style six-string guitar. Featuring both original compositions and arrangements of other works, Klingers playful and serious, virtuosic and challenging music here receives the attention that is long overdue.
