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.
On the first Intimate Guitar episode of 2026, you'll hear a variety of "Great Preludes" played by Jason Vieaux, Maria Isabel Siewers, the Mela Quartet, Nigel North, Alexander Tsiboulski, Alexander-Sergei Ramirez and Sheila Arnold (on guitar and fortepiano), Duo Tandem and Pepe Romero.
This weekend on The Intimate Guitar, you'll hear selections from Baroque Masterpieces, an album by the ARTIS GuitarDuo. Also, Antonio Ielo plays music of Laurent Boutros; Duo Kontaxakis-Ivanovich performs Pictures at an Exhibition; and Jon Pickard plays a harp guitar with 23 strings.
