En savoir plus

This recital by Marko Topchii, winner of the 2023 Guitar Foundation of America Competition, ranges widely across the repertoire, from a Renaissance lute masterpiece by John Dowland, through early 20th-century neo-Romanticism, to the technical challenges of the present day. The programme includes the only works for guitar composed by Roussel and Poulenc – both of which are endlessly evocative. Barrios Mangoré’s sublime Un sueño en la floresta, three Studies by Angelo Gilardino, the competition’s set piece by Frederic Hand, and Konstantin Bliokh’s contemporary Sonata No. 6 ‘Kharkiv’ complete Topchii’s diverse programme.
