Music for flute and guitar from around 1813 by a not-so-well-known German composer named Christian Gottlieb Scheidler. Williams also uses some 14th century tunes in the second movement of this engaging work that blends old and new. He first developed that tune into a piece he called Aeolian Chant before composing aa entire four-movement suite. He used a haunting tune a friend had written as the basis for the suite.
John Williams plays his own Aeolian Suite for Guitar and Small Orchestra in a recording from 1998. Tansman had moved to Paris from his native Poland, and the five-movement Cavatina was written in 1950 at the request of Andres Segovia. From his Naxos guitar recital CD, I'll have his performance of the Cavatina by Alexandre Tansman. Russian guitarist Dimitri Illarionov was the 2002 First Prize Winner of the Guitar Foundation of America Competition and has gone on to an international career as a fine artist. Martin-in-the-Fields on the next Fretworks on classical 101. I'll have Angel Romero's recording with the Academy of St. That is something of a misnomer, however, because Vivaldi actually wrote it for the lute, but it is heard more often in recordings arranged for the classical guitar. The most popular guitar concerto from the Baroque era must certainly be the Guitar Concerto in D by Antonio Vivaldi.
