Kurt's Recording Comments:
This recording was made on the day following the premiere. As I mentioned on the program notes page for RunoTrio, I did not write the guitar part with myself in mind as the performer. Having not played guitar on a regular basis for a number of years, it took some work to get back up to speed (I also never really studied classical guitar seriously). I am very happy with the result, although I'd love to hear an accomplished classical guitarist play the piece someday.* Sabine and Shelly performed just beautifully. This is one of my favorite pieces, especially the last two movements.

* = The second performance was later given on Nov. 4, 2001 with guitarist Jeff Lambert, who did a wonderful job. Despite Jeff's superior guitar playing the present recording is of better quality overall.
