Sharing releases, present and past, to brighten your day. WXXI Classical has its eyes and ears on the latest releases from classical artists working today. When we come across a story or a release we think you might enjoy, we’ll be sharing it with you on CD Spotlight. You’ll learn more about the artists online at WXXI Classical, and you’ll hear selections from these artists on FM 91.5. CD Spotlight shares new releases by artists that you’ll want to know and some by great artists and ensembles that deserve to be in the spotlight again.

CD Spotlight: Across the Horizon, Nicholas Goluses, guitar

Those who arrived late to Nicholas Goluses’ 70th birthday concert at the Eastman School of Music last April were disappointed — it was standing room only. Many chose to hover in the back of Hatch Recital Hall so as not to miss hearing the guitarist (and Eastman professor) live in concert; a recording of that performance will be broadcast on public media stations around the country via WXXI Classical next spring.

In the meantime, Goluses has put together a new album, “Across the Horizon,” which came out September 19. In it, he showcases his greatest strength as a player — balancing technical mastery with warmth and charisma.
