Douglas Hensley and Cathy Fern Lewis play Sharman

ByBradford Werner
2016

Cathy Fern Lewis (voice) & Douglas Hensley (lute) play “She walks in Beauty” by Vancouver-based composer Rodney Sharman. Recorded at Wood Recital Hall, Victoria Conservatory of Music, Victoria, BC, May 2016.

I recently recorded a new work for some colleagues of mine. I probably should have put a close mic on the lute but this was two stereo pairs a few feet back. Great piece. Sharman has only a few works for guitar: September for Guitar Trio, In a Room for solo guitar, a couple of tiny unpublished things and some chamber music.
