Recently, I have been re-listening to a CD borrowed from Mr A some time back. It's by the Australian Guitar Quartet - Saffire.
This album "Nostalgica" includes the world premiere of a piece written for Saffire by the renowned composer Nigel Westlake, as well as new arrangements of pieces by Bartok, Piazzolla, Deep Purple, Bill Wheelan (composer of Riverdance).
I particularly liked their quartet arrangement of Riverdance! Wonderful, exciting and virtuoso guitar ensemble stuff! A pity they do not sell their arrangement(s), otherwise this is a gem of an arrangement.
Here's the album's song list:
1. Rumba Nostálgica (J. Martin; arr. Koch)
2. Romance del Diablo (A. Piazzolla; arr. Grigoryan)
3. Tango en Skaï (R. Dyens)
4-9. Romanian Folk Dances (B. Bartok; arr. Koch)
10. Riverdance (B. Whelan; arr. Field)
11. She Moved Through The Fair (trad.; arr. Koch)
12. American Wake (B. Whelan; arr. Field)
13. The Salley Gardens (trad.; arr. Koch)
14-19. Six Fish (N. Westlake)
20. Highway Star (Deep Purple; arr. Koch)
