Lazhar Cherouana, winner of the 2012 coveted Pittaluga Competition, graduated with a gold medal from the conservatory of Lyon under the world famous Peruvian artist JesÃºs Castro-Balbi, studying further with Eliot Fisk and Marco Tamayo in Austria. Here he demonstrates the guitar's versatility and capacity to absorb many styles and idioms. Rameau's mimicry of birdsong is the spectacular opening to a program which unites Dusan Bogdanovic's Serbian energy with the Basque lyricism of ManjÃ³n's Aire Vasco, and the delicate colors of Asencio's Collectici Ãntim to the 19th-century Italianate virtuosity of Legnani and Regondi.
