HENZE, H.W.: Guitar Music, Vol. 1 (Halasz) - Royal Winter Music No. 2 / 3 Tentos / Neue Volkslieder und Hirtengesange

One of Europe’s foremost living composers, Hans Werner Henze has written an extraordinarily prolific quantity of music in every genre. This disc of his guitar music spans almost thirty years of his career and ranges from Royal Winter Music, a virtuosic sonata which extends the boundaries of guitar technique, to the folk music-like Neue Volkslieder und Hirtengesänge, inspired by Austrian peasant songs.
