About This Edition:

Czech guitarist and composer Stepan Rak is regarded one of the most creative and innovative guitarists active today.  Eclectic and unique,  his music combines depth of expression with technical innovation and brilliant virtuosity.  Most importantly,  it is music that speaks with a direct and powerful voice.  Despite numerous recordings and published editions,  however,  much of Rak’s best music remains unpublished or unavailable.  The present multi-volume edition makes available some of the most outstanding compositions of one of the guitar’s most innovative composers.

This first volume contains five concert works written between 1986-89,  each displaying a unique facet of Rak’s compositional style.
