John Williams (Guitar)

Ver 5 Preludes for guitar, W 419 en

Simon Birch, 12th November

It is quite a daunting task to assess the performance of someone like John Williams. Certainly one of the finest and most famous living classical guitarists in the world, he seems something of a colossus of the instrument. Yet the manner he exuded as he entered the stage of St. George’s was of understated familiarity.
