Programme Four - South America
Sunday 24 April 2005 15:30-16:00 (Radio 3)
4/4. There is more to South American guitar music than Villa Lobos, and John Williams concludes his series with a voyage of discovery to the Latin continent, starting with the works of the Brazilian composer Augustin Barrios.
The focus shifts to Venezuela and the works of Antonio Lauro, and then to Cuba and Leo Brouwer, whose many guitar pieces include the Toronto Concerto composed for John Williams himself. The series concludes with a look at the fiery playing of Cuban folk guitarists.
