A tribute to the man who almost single-handedly defined the classical guitar in the 20th Century, Andres Segovia. The California Guitar Trio extend the role and the repertoire of the acoustic guitar by mixing Bach and Beethoven with the Ventures and their own original music. Tim Sparks is a country and gospel-inspired guitarist whose classical studies and passion for the traditions of other cultures has resulted in his being equally at home with Portuguese fado and The Nutcracker Suite. And Virginia Luque, a pupil of Segovia, brings classical music and flamenco thrillingly to life.
