William Carter - Sor Late Works - Gramophone

The follow-up disc to Carter's set of Spanish composer and virtuoso Fernando Sor's early works is a beautifully simple and uncluttered recording. There's a close focus on the solo instrument and the guitarist's technique. The intricacies of the playing are wonderfully captured and the result is delicacy and concentration, making this just about as near-perfect a recording as I've heard.
