Baroque guitarist Gordon Ferries visits the music of seventeenth-century Spain’s fiery streets – a time when the five course guitar produced a sense of abject horror in the morally inclined, citing associations with popular ballads, taverns, criminality, sensuality and in particular dancing. Ferries assumes the role with panache and breath-takingly virtuosic flair.
“Stylish and accessible baroque from an exponent whose star is in the ascendant.”
