Beyond dexterity, beyond virtuosity

​

With this debut recording, Vera Danilina impresses her seal on the world of the guitar with a decisive certainty that is thoroughly remarkable. It is not just that her fingers move with extraordinary precision and that her technique is faultless, but she also leaves no doubt that she is thoroughly commanding in every aspect of what she does. The repertoire she has chosen to record moves across the history of guitar music from the mid-eighteenth century until almost yesterday, woven together by dazzling virtuosity combined with the poise of a mature interpreter.
