Twelve Etudes

"...a landmark in the repertoire of contemporary guitar music."
John Buckley (Irish Composer)

"...a summation of an entire guitar epoch."
Fabio Zanon (Brazilian Guitarist)

"A significant new body of work has been given to the virtuoso."
Stephen Marchionda (American Guitarist)

Considered my many leading guitarists to be a landmark in the modern guitar repertoire, Benjamin Dwyer's Twelve Etudes carry on from Villa-Lobos's famous studies. This is the definitive recording given by the composer and has set a new standard for virtuosic playing and innovative writing for the guitar.
