A new release made of compositions from two previous albums of a very famous Russian guitarist, the compilation has been made with a special intention. Due to it, in “Old Stories” we can see mainly a lyrical side of Vitaly’s talent of a composer and of a performer.
Album reviewThe guitar is a very popular instrument in Russia. But, oddly enough, guitarists who play good instrumental music can be counted on fingers of one hand (“good” music in this case means tuneful , meditative, romantic music performed in a virtuoso way in finger technique, which is rarely used today but which brings heartfulness into the music).Tracklist |
