The Intimate Guitar is Jim McCutcheon's weekly celebration of "the instrument held closest to the heart." Jim presents selections from a vast library of music and artists from around the world for the guitar in both solo and chamber settings. At the end of each program, Jim offers a bit of "dessert" - artistic, non-classical performances including jazz, fingerstyle and other fretted instruments.
This week's program features lutenist Simone Valerotonda, Petra Polackova playing music of J. K. Mertz, Manuel Barrueco performing Rodrigo's Fantasia para un Gentilhombre, Adriano Sebastiani playing music by Bruno D'Amario, and fingerstyle guitarist Achim Reschke.
