A captivating CD of virtuosic Russian folk dances and evocative ballads from Glinka and Tchaikovsky to innovative contemporary pieces by Grigori Korchmar amd Elena Langer, played by one of the leading British classical guitarists of his generation, Carl Herring.
Having graduated from the Royal Academy of Music with first class honours in 2003, Carl Herring won the highly coveted Julian Bream Prize and the prestigious Ivor Mairants Award.
