In this program Izhar plays a variety of historical guitars. Listen to the vivid Spanish and French baroque music, and great pieces from the early 19th century “guitar mania”. For a brief period in the early 19th century, the guitar enjoyed a veritable hype, especially in the Parisian and Viennese salons. On Izhar’s beautiful romantic guitars this virtuosic and lyrical music comes to life.
