Australia’s own guitar quartet, Saffire consists of four of the best names in the business; Karin Schaupp, Gareth Koch, Antony Field and of course, Slava Grigoryan. In an attractively balanced program that contains old favourites and newer works, Saffire performs an ideal range of music for easy holiday listening. Classic Iberian numbers by Granados and Pujol rub shoulders with Stanley Myers’ evergreen Cavatina from The Deer Hunter and newer works by Australian composers, Philip Houghton and Richard Charlton. The world premiere recording of Charlton’s_Stoneworks_ concludes this relaxing but always interesting hour of guitar music.
