Canadian guitarist Steve Cowan plays Prelude by Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978), arranged by Rafael Andia for Éditions transatlantiques. This comes via Cowan’s great YouTube channel. You can also hear it on his album Arctic Sonata on Spotify or iTunes. Video and sound by Drew Henderson. Beautiful little piece and nice arrangement. Originally for piano and titled No Walk Today. Great pacing and phrasing by Cowan who always offers a special musical touch.
