En Las Sombras (In the Shadows) opens with a pastoral flair. Its gently rippling arpeggiated chords unleash into a rhythmic dance, with palm muting and ‘rasgueado’ (a famous Spanish guitar strumming technique).
It is brilliantly performed by leading Australian guitarist Matt Withers, who is a blazing tour de force in the championing of Aussie-composed music...

En Las Sombras (In the Shadows) is a vibrant and rhythmic solo guitar piece by award-winning Australian composer Sally Greenaway.
Brilliantly performed by leading Australian guitarist Matt Withers on his stunning hand-made Smallman & Sons classical guitar, the piece explores the guitar’s rhythmic and colour possibilities with exuberant tests of the performer’s virtuosity and technique.
