From expressive intimacy to rhythmic incision. Music for guitar trio.

This podcast introduces a recently released, diverse programme of works for guitar trio bound by the common thread of music inspired by stories from literature, stage or screen. Performed by the Volterra Project Trio, the album's seventeen tracks take us from the rhythmic exuberance and tragic beauty of Bernstein’s West Side Story to the evocative poetry of childhood in Ravel's Mother Goose Suite. The presenter is Raymond Bisha.
