Gunter Herbig | Dream Weaving (New Zealand Guitar Music, Vol. 2) - CD

About

In this second volume of his revelatory exploration (Volume 1 is here), admired instrumentalist Gunter Herbig continues to trace the guitar's flourishing culture in New Zealand. Bruce Paine's deft pieces embrace the lyrical, mystical and dance-like, whilst David Farquhar - whose beautiful transcriptions of Bartok's For Children are also included - is represented at his most haunting and forward-looking in Five Scenes. Color saturates John Elmsly's Suite and John Rimmer captures the extraordinary atmosphere of the island of Hauturu, performed here in Herbig's own exquisite arrangement.
