Eleftheria Kotzia
"The European Guitar"
(feat. Evva Mizerska, cello)

Most guitar recitals emphasise the vigorous Spanish and Latin American heritage of the instrument.
This album takes a different approach, travelling round the fringes of Europe, with music from Albania, Estonia, France, Serbia, Greece and the British Isles, these largely lyrical works chosen because they were inspired by issues and events that underline the dignity of the human condition.
They allude to a surprisingly wide range of subjects: peace-time reconciliation, love and loss, ethnic identity, personal courage, environmental degradation and bittersweet recollections of childhood – music for calm reflection.
