HOMAGES: A MUSICAL DEDICATION

In his second CD for Signum Classics Swiss Guitarist Christoph Denoth explores musical 'homages' for the classical guitar:

"Homages and dedications have often a veiled mystique: the relationship between the composer and somebody else; a story and emotional experience hidden in the music. Homages are created from the heart, and reach out and engage the heart of the listener. To whom they are dedicated is not always easy to fathom, but they can speak and bloom as though they were only written for oneself, creating a poetry and beauty which fills our heart." Christoph Denoth
