On this CD, Michel Grizard takes the listener on a fascinating musical journey through Europe, illustrating the diversity of compositional styles for the guitar in the first half of the 19th century. Quite apart from the musical talents of one of France's finest guitarists, this disc presents an opportunity of hearing these works played on an early French guitar. The listener is immediately captivated by both the beauty of its sound and the way in which it reveals all of the subtle nuances of the music.
