Records H ilary Field, classical guitarist, is a 1992 winner of the Northwest Young Artist Series Competition and, in addition to being the head of the Guitar department at Pacific Lutheran University, has recently joined the music faculty of Seattle Pacific University. S he has appeared on television and radio throughout the United States and, in June of 1993, Hilary Field was the first and only guitarist to ever win the prestigious Ladies Musical Club Soloist Competition.
Field displays sensitive musicianship, solid technique, and a burnished tone.
That combination has resulted in a collection of exquisite instrumental music. It is beyond my ability to find fault in any aspect of this production, which is certain to make Field again a contender for national music awards. She doesn't just recite what can often be complex work, but imbues it with fire and grace. A hometown triumph all around. It serves notice that the Northwest has yet another musical success to claim, and makes one anticipate her future recordings.
