Guitarist and lutenist James Akers performs a stunning selection of works for romantic guitar on this captivating recording consisting almost entirely of world premieres. The composers, 19th century guitar legends from continental Europe, were all inspired to craft these pieces by the Scottish landscape, its music and literature. Akers's seductive programme allows a peek at the magical, diverse and even haunting Scottish influences that bewitched each of these composers.
