Five Hundred Years Traced on Guitar, Layer upon Layer

An ambitious program tracing five centuries of musical history on the guitar — from early music to the present day — this is a project that feels entirely characteristic of Yuta Yamada, an artist who began in jazz guitar and, in his search for his own musical voice, found his way into the world of classical guitar. What comes through alongside the rich variety of the repertoire is his earnest dedication and a musical intuition that transcends genre and style — qualities that the finest guitarists invariably share.  – Yoshinobu Hara (guitarist)
