Memorials, arrangements and pastiches draw confident, polished playing. Bach, taken from violin, gains clarity and still sings out. Tárrega follows famous19th-century models with uncanny closeness. De Faria’s 1997 composition grows from shifting harmonies to percussive assertion and exploratory high textures. Robert Maycock
