Serenades of the Unicorn

There is a commonality between the two composers represented on this recording that may not be readily apparent to the casual observer, and the two would probably never come up in the same discussion except for this one obscure link. Both Einojuhani Rautavaara and Nikita Koshkin have found completely unique voices in writing for the compositionally difficult and often cliché-ridden guitar. A generation and completely different backgrounds and cultures separate the two composers, yet they both find inspiration in fantasy and mysticism to create their compelling soundscapes.
