Stepan Rak "Voces de profundis" Live - Asya Selyutina guitar

As anyone who has recorded the first half of Nikita Koshkin's remarkable cycle of 24 preludes and fugues would be in a position to perform it, here's Asya Selyutina's live performance of Stepan Rak's "Voces de profundis"

This is a piece where you'll want to know that the whole thing is a musical response to Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho.  Rak is known, for those who know his work, for doing some really weird avant garde extended technique stuff on the six-stringed guitar.  It's not to everyone's taste but I've enjoyed his work over the years.
