If you didn’t know this set of 19 guitar miniatures was by the Scottish composer Billy Cowie, you might think it was a collection of Spanish Renaissance dances and songs, slightly sentimentalised by a latter-day arranger. Their slender charm is winningly conveyed by guitarist Nicola Hall. Ivan Hewett
