World-renowned guitarist William Carter presents an appealing collection of works by Spanish guitar virtuoso and composer Fernando Sor, a much-anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed Early Works recording of 2010 (named Gramophone Editor’s Choice).

Sor’s late works demonstrate highly elaborate structures and technique which tested even the finest students and pushed the boundaries of the instrument. This second collection showcases some of Sor’s most commercially popular works with as much appeal for listeners today as for the original cosmopolitan audiences.

William Carter employs a performance practice endorsed by Sor himself - playing with the finger tips, creating an intimate and unforgettable sound. A founding-member of the famous Palladian Ensemble, Carter has a deserved reputation as one of the finest classical guitarists with critically acclaimed performances as an orchestral player, chamber musician and soloist.

William Carter is a member of The Academy of Ancient Music, The English Concert and Palladians and is well known as a regular performer at Early Music Festivals. His passion for the baroque guitar enthuses his playing with a freshness and vitality, coupled with faultless technique.
