  • Description

    Lily Afshar's fourth release presents a truly original sound (including the incorporation of quarter tones) that promises to be an important addition to the contemporary classical guitar repertory. Hemispheres reached #7 on the Billboard Top Classical Albums Chart. Afshar is the first woman in the world to gain a Doctorate of Music in Guitar performance. She's performed throughout the world including Wigmore Hall in London. Classical Guitar Magazine says Lily "draws together the seemingly disparate spheres of classical guitar and world music….An endlessly rewarding release from one of the 21st century guitar's most individual and creative fingers." Tracks: Kara Toprak / Schnee in Istanbul / Gozaar / Triptych, Op. 102 Prelude / Triptych, Op. 102 Eternal Song / Triptych Op. 102 Dreams Of A Clown / Prelude / Fugato / Adagio, Op. 44 / Danza del Altiplano / Fantasia On A Traditional Persian Song / Morgh-eh-Sahar / Misionera.
