The young, prize-winning, international recitalist Eren Süalp has constructed a programme that shows the cosmopolitan nature of contemporary guitar writing, exploring music from his own country, Turkey, as well as from Venezuela, Cuba, and England. It ranges from the witty twists and turns of Turgay Erdeners Five Grotesques through Bayraktars Six Anatolian Pieces evocative arrangements that occasionally summon up the sound of Turkish plucked instruments to Leo Brouwers powerful Sonata of 1990. Stephen Dodgsons Partita No. 1 is startlingly original and brings a unique sound-world to the guitar.
