New York-based Australian classical guitarist Rupert Boyd’s third solo outing returns us to the vibrant soundworlds of Piazzolla and Brouwer while introducing Baroque and Viennese Classicism into the mix. When I listen to Boyd I’m reminded of the playing of David Russell. There’s that same clean technique, broad tonal palette and intelligent musicianship. It’s the style that respects the composer and the music without allowing one’s ego to be subsumed by them.
