This recital by the Belarusian guitarist Pavel Kukhta, winner of the 2015 Heinsberg International Guitar Competition, offers a diversity of composers from Belarus, Cuba, Spain, Catalonia, Brazil and France. The widely-ranging programme opens with the Baroque style of Galina Gorelova's Castle of Mir, Leo Brouwer's Afro-Cuban fusion of influences and the virtuosity of Rodrigo's Toccata. Then we hear the unconventional timbres of Roberto Gerhard's Fantasia and Eduardo Morales-Caso's boundary-pushing fantasy on a garden at the Alhambra Palace. The programme ends with Sergio Assad's meditation on Rio de Janeiro and Roland Dyens' plaintive evocation of Cuban moods.
