Multi-award-winning guitarist Johan Smith has considerably extended his instrument's repertoire with this selection of transcriptions celebrating childhood in a variety of ways. These popular piano works - Schubert's Erlkönig, Granados's atmospheric Tales of Youth, Mozart's elegant Sonata facile, Schumann's Scenes from Childhood and the exquisitely sensitive and insightful miniatures of Debussy's Children's Corner - are presented in a totally natural and idiomatic manner within the guitar's distinctly expressive soundworld.
