Italian guitarist Gian Marco Ciampa plays Sonata para Guitarra by Cuban composer Leo Brouwer (b.1939). The three movements are I. Fandangos y Boleros; II. Sarabanda de Scriabin; III. La Toccata de Pasquini. This comes via the Paris Guitar Foundation and their YouTube channel series. Nice video series, this one directed by Augustin Pesnon. Shot in the region of Normandie, France and filmed in 4K with flying drones too! Great playing by Ciampa who navigates the expansive textures with style and pulls off the intense toccata as well.
