LA GUITARRE ROYALLE: French Baroque and Classical Guitar Music

An all new, one-of-a-kind recording of French baroque and classical guitar music performed by Olav Chris Henriksen, one of America's leading early guitar virtuosos, on two antique guitars from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Beautifully melodic, this CD is perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Includes photos of the historic guitars and informative liner notes written by the performer and the MFA's curator of musical instruments.
