Appasionata We would like to introduce you to the music of Nick Fletcher with this, our latest release on Open Sky Records. Nick is an incredibly talented guitarist, improviser and composer of music for solo guitar and we are thrilled to have this release included in the Open Sky / Voiceprint catalogue.
As well as being a first CD release of Nick's own solo guitar compositions, the album will be of huge interest to fans of IONA as it features Nick playing ‘Iberian Fantasy', a 24 minute long Guitar Concerto co-written and orchestrated by IONA's Dave Bainbridge and Nick himself.
Those of you who bought our ‘Songs for Luca 2' double cd release will already have heard Nick's beautiful playing on two tracks on that album - ‘Silver Moon' and Red Sun'.
This recording is a first volume of contemporary Classical Guitar music, written, improvised, and performed by Nick. The music spans a wide range of influences from the Baroque era to Iberian, Argentine and Brazilian dance forms. Also rhythms from Eastern Europe and traditional music from the Hebredian Isles. The CD also features ‘Iberian Fantasy' a four movement suite for Guitar and Orchestra written in collaboration with Dave Bainbridge.

Reviews
There are instrumental classical guitar albums that sound like wallpaper and there are instrumental classical guitar albums like this one: a varied and involving collection of tracks with an invigorating scent of uniqueness...
...Fletcher's guitar tone and style here several times (including "Dark Waters: Tributaries" and particularly "Veil of Tears") take me to Hackett's live duo album, There Are Many Sides to the Night - only Fletcher's sound is far crisper.
