"...unquestionable technical skill and superiority...sparkling and entertaining. - The New York Times"By displaying his talents on archlute, baroque guitar, 19th century guitar and our modern guitar all within sixty minutes, Willard adds a different element to what would otherwise be an unimaginative program. Clearly a talented player, Willard weaves his way through this music with great sensitivity."
- Guitar Review, no. 130 Fall 2005
Jerry Willard takes us on a masters tour of the world's most popular stringed instrument, starting in 16th Century Italy with pieces performed on Archlute - from there to J.S. Bach with six of Bach's most popular lute pieces. Next Willard switches to Baroque guitar, for 17th Century compositions by Gaspar Sanz. A three movement sonata by Mauro Giuliani is performed on 19th Century Guitar. Finally, Willard uses a modern classical guitar for Catalan folk songs by Miguel Llobet, and three show stopping arrangements of tunes by the great George Gershwin!
