The Lion In the Lute: British Guitar Music

Format: CD & Digital download
Label: BIS
Release date: January 1999
Catalogue no: CD-926

Anders Miolin’s recording has a quite mellow but clear and resonant sound. Miolin’s version is faithfully detailed, and like Garrobé, he adopts the ‘non troppo’ approach to the Rondo. Unusually, the guitar used is a ten-stringed instrument. The programme is substantial, and all British; featuring Walton, Rawsthorne, Berkeley, Tippett and Britten.
