For this exciting new recording Dutch guitarist Izhar Elias selected 4 works for guitar and strings to show the versatility of his instrument. In these works by Brouwer, Pujol , Sierra and Maier influences can be traced from classical music, Avant‐Garde, Caribbean music, Spanish folklore, Flamenco, Arabic music, tango, blues and even trip‐hop and heavy metal: fascinating!

Izhar Elias secured the collaboration of world‐class musicians (composer Florian Magnus Maier plays the Moog electric guitar), each bringing a different musical background and an open mind.

In the booklet text each composer comments on his own work, a better introduction is hardly possible.
