Nathasja van Rosse • Loving Urgency

Dutch classical guitar virtuoso Nathasja van Rosse is back in search of the golden tone, after having to take a break due to a serious injury. This fresh restart also allows for recently discovered new ways to express her own creativity through composing for classical guitar and writing poetry, channelling deep emotions during lockdown into four original compositions.

These pieces blend perfectly into a beautifully balanced program in broad musical variety exploring mainly new works by young composers like Damien McCuskey and Jan Depreter while completing it with two pieces by Astor Piazzolla and Louise Walker. Nathasja’s refined artistry is remarkably immaculate, her dynamic performance between cascading arpeggios and heartfelt lyrical melodies shows depth and maturity in a clear and straightforward approach. Apart from quite a few premier recordings the Sonatina by Florian Palier might be regarded as outstanding.

Naturally according to its title this album is particularly inspired by warmth, love and poetry.
