Austrian guitarist Rosa Franziska Maier – laureate of numerous international competitions – releases an imaginative musical collage with GENUIN, comprising works spanning three centuries. Centered around William Walton’s "Five Bagatelles" are compositions by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Johann Sebastian Bach, Giulio Regondi, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and Isaac Albéniz. In Maier’s richly colored and precisely articulated guitar sound, these works evoke a wide range of luminous moods, forming an imaginary museum bathed in the light of a Mediterranean summer evening.
