Takemitsu - In the Woods - Guitar Solo

This group of works for guitar based on images of nature is in Takemitsu's more traditional tonal and melodic style, shaded by Impressionist harmonies. Each of the three works in this set, lasting slightly under 11 minutes in total, is dedicated to a guitar virtuoso -- the first movement, "Wainscot Pond -- after a painting by Cornelia Foss," is dedicated to John Williams; "Rosedale" is dedicated to Kiyoshi Shomura; and "Muir Woods" is for Julian Bream.
