Album Notes & Community Reviews

The former Genesis guitarist continued his deep exploration of the acoustic nylon-string guitar with this intimate, entirely classical collection. Eschewing the progressive rock bombast of his earlier career, the pristine instrumental compositions draw heavy inspiration from Baroque styling and contemporary classical structures. The album highlights his immense technical delicacy and compositional maturity.
