Evensong: Mostly Harmless


This is Richard Durrant 
Stay with it - it takes a little while to load.

Richard Durrant, Dip RCM, ARCM, FLCM is an English guitarist and composer. He studied guitar, cello, and composition at the Royal College of Music in London between 1981 and 1986. Since his debut at the Purcell Room, London in July 1986 Richard Durrant has gained an international reputation as one of the great guitarists of his generation. He has pursued both performance and composition in an unconventional career that has avoided categorisation and he has built a faithful, ever expanding audience who warm to his unpretentious manner and natural skills of communication. He is the only known guitar virtuoso who performs standing up.
This is a very short concert that he streamed from his studio in England last night. There's some nice pictures and reminiscences of Orkney and he plays like an angel.
