The late 20th century has proven to be a second Golden Age for the classical guitar. Many fine composers (and guitarist-composers) have continued to compose impressive, accessible and soulful works for this most universal of instruments. For her program on TOCCATA IN BLUE, Ms. Kavanagh has selected a program representative of this renaissance. The works of composer Carlo Domeniconi are no strangers to guitar aficionados and reflect both a warm Mediterranean atmosphere as well as subtle jazz influences. A Latin American influence is heard in two suites by Zenamon (the larger of the two, is a musical invitation to read Herman Hesse's book, “Demian”) and several highly idiomatic originals by Dale Kavanagh herself.
