Description The Guitarist's Prayer is a captivating musical journey through four centuries of English music, uncovering treasures rarely heard on the classical guitar. From the timeless elegance of Henry Purcell to breath taking new works written especially for Fábio Fernandes, this compelling programme brings together world premiere recordings, forgotten masterpieces, and exciting new transcriptions in an album of great originality. Alongside the premiere recording of Julian Bream's final commission, listeners are invited to discover remarkable composers whose voices have remained unheard for far too long. The Guitarist's Prayer not only is a reflection on history, and the enduring influence of the past on the present, it also shines a light on hidden treasures of England's musical heritage and expands the horizons of the guitar repertoire. With the majority of the music being recorded for the very first time, this is a unique opportunity to discover an extraordinary collection of works that will surprise, inspire, and resonate long after the final note.
