    Strangely fascinating solo guitar music.
    I wasn't keen at first but it is sneaking up on me now and I go back to it with some regularity.
    Very 'present' sq, too.

    Marvellous playing of one of the masterworks of the piano repertoire, Beethoven's op109 sonata..
    And she doesn't look too bad, either.
