About
The Michele Pittaluga International Guitar Competition was first held in 1968, and is still one of only a handful of guitar competitions that have achieved genuine international prestige. In 2017 it celebrates its 50th continuous year, and this celebratory compilation of recordings by past winners brings together performances at the highest level of some of the finest music written or arranged for guitar: from Rodrigos challenge to the player in Elogio de la guitarra, to Rameaus picturesque mimicry of birdsong and Waltons masterful Bagatelles.

Awards and reviews
October 2018
The writing is effective, exploiting pizzicato and multi-voiced writing, with lashings of warm ardour and heroic rhetoric…In Brinton Averil-Smith, Castelnuovo-Tedesco has found a worthy exponent: his is a cast-iron technique of verve and refinement put entirely at the service of the music, and the sort of deadpan panache that recalls Janos Starker.
