More >>>	$14.95
More info & audio samples	John Doan *The Lost Music of Fernando Sor* In Stock	20-string harp guitarist John Doan has done the (up to now) impossible. The 1830 harpolyre - a close cousin of the harp guitar - has been unfairly and inexplicably relegated to a museum curiosity for over a century. Completely misunderstood (no one before John even identified the correct tuning!) and virtually ignored by curators and guitar scholars during this time, it took the combination of the original music, a restored instrument, and a professional harp guitarist to bring back the important harpolyre music of Sor - unheard for over 175 years!

More info & audio samples	Beppe Gambetta, with Carlo Aonzo: *Serenata* In Stock	The first revival of the passionate repertoire of the Italian string virtuosi of the turn of the 20th century! Their work turned up what they term the "rediscovery" of a fascinating world in which the musical genre of that era was until now all but forgotten. Turn-of-the-century Italian music for guitar and mandolin comes to life again with Serenata, a very special concert presentation by Gambetta and Aonzo. More >>>	$21.95

More >>>	$14.95
More info & audio samples	James Kline: *Baroque Music* In Stock	James was first introduced to the archguitar by the instrument's innovator Peter Blanchette. Seduced by its sweetness of sound and wide range of possibilities, he was immediately "converted". A combination of lute, 19th century guitar and contemporary design, the 11-string archguitar is ideally suited to the performance of a diverse cross-section of early music. Works by Sylvius Leopold Weiss (1686-1750); Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750); Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757). More >>>	$14.95
More info & audio samples	James Kline: Music of the Lost Cathedral In Stock	At the bottom of Mexico's spectacular Copper Canyon, a mysterious mission watches over the tiny hamlet of Satevo. "The Lost Cathedral" was probably built by Jesuits around 1740. The wonderful acoustics of the cathedral, and the magic of the rugged wilderness setting, inspired James to make a new recording dedicated to this mystical place. Traditional Mexican dances and folk songs, and works by: Santiago de Murcia (c.1683-?); Manuel M. Ponce (1886-1948); Johan Sebastion Bach (1685-1750). More >>>	$14.95

More >>>	$14.95
