Over 60 minutes of heartfelt classical guitar music inspired by New Zealand landscapes and heritage.
Bruce Paine’s compositions reflect his diverse family roots spanning New Zealand’s North and South Islands, as well as English and Irish influences.
This album features mainly original solo classical guitar works by Bruce Paine, alongside contemporary pieces by UK composers Vincent Lindsey-Clark and David Warin Solomons.
Recorded in the beautifully restored Old Tua Marina Church of Blenheim, New Zealand, the sound captures the rich, detailed tones of Bruce’s 2015 Simon Marty guitar.
The album comes in a thoughtfully designed, eco-friendly, white cardboard sleeve designed by Bruce Paine and featuring poetic headings for each composition, created by Rex Button. The minimalist ‘White Album’ packaging with black text and imagery on a white background serves as a tribute to both music and sustainability.
Recordings and Broadcasts
The evocative piece Waitemata Reverie from The Selwyn Recital album was featured on the internationally acclaimed NAXOS release by the same name, and has been broadcast on Irish radio stations. This connection feels especially meaningful given Bruce Paine’s Irish heritage, tracing back to his great-great-grandfather.
