  • Description

    Although Smith Brindle composed a variety of works including an opera, he is best known for his guitar music. The poetic and lyrical Etruscan Preludes express the mystery of an ancient and lost civilisation, while the enigmatic El Polifemo de oro expresses poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca's attribution of occult powers to the guitar. From the beautifully expressive Nocturne to the extreme effects of Percussion Piece (from Guitarcosmos, Vol. 3 ), the sheer virtuosity of invention in Smith Brindle's guitar music led Julian Bream to commend his diversity of style and clarity of intention.
