The vastness of the country, the muted colours of the landscape, and an introspective lyricism – these essential national elements infuse the Australian guitar idiom. News from Nowhere, by renowned Australian guitarist and composer Phillip Houghton, is an iconic example. Hear this captivating piece, along with works by Sculthorpe, Westlake, Charlton and others, in a poignant and intimate exploration of modern Australian guitar repertoire.
