Peter Sculthorpe is one of Australia's best known composers (right after Percy Grainger). He drew inspiration from the unique Australian landscapes and sounds of the bush. This piece, Kakadu, is a final landscape that was inspired by the huge Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory.

Here’s a concerto by Scarlatti in g minor that I really enjoyed. It reminds me of Bach’s Brandenburg concertos. I always liked the sound of the baroque flute and, as a guitarist, enjoy seeing the lute included in the ensemble.
