The Memory Garden is an enticing programme of English music, old and new, played with incredible sensitivity and intelligence by one of Britain’s finest young guitarists. The album is bookended with the music of John Dowland, beginning with one of Dowland’s preludes and ending with Benjamin Britten’s epic Nocturnal, which is a set of inverse variations on Dowland’s song, Come heavy sleep. Malcolm Arnold’s Fantasy for Guitar gives a wonderful segue into two new pieces by Laura Snowden and Dani Howard, both of which make a superb and compelling contribution to the guitar repertoire. This is Jack Hancher’s debut recording.
