Candice Mowbray

To simply call Candice a classical guitarist doesn’t do her complete justice—her warm, clear tone, fiery power, and nuanced dynamics transform the six strings into a veritable orchestra of musical colors. Produced by fellow guitarist Michael DeLalla, Candice’s debut recording "Solo Guitar" is a fine showcase for her wide-reaching musicality, featuring contemporary music of South and Central America. Her readings of works such as Barrios’ Vals No. 3 and 4 are nothing short of breathtaking, while she exhibits a quiet tenderness in such pieces as Julia Florida and Leo Brouwer’s "Una Dia de Novembriere" that would be lost in the hands of a lesser player. Finally, for good measure, an incredibly playful performance of Koshkin’s "Dancing on the Plaza" makes this diverse collection a must-have for lovers of all music, not just guitarists..
