From Yesterday to Penny Lane is the follow-up to Göran Söllscher's first disc of Beatles guitar transcriptions--and it is every bit as enjoyable, and stylistically even more adventurous. Söllscher has the knack of knowing how far to take each song--teasing out the pathos in "Norwegian Wood" and "The Long and Winding Road", while respecting the simple yet sublime melodic writing of "In My Life" and "I Will". Per Arne Glorvigen joins him on bandoneon for three tango transformations, including a suitably ominous "Come Together", complete with guitar percussives. For many the fifth Beatle, George Martin's roots in the world of 1950s light music are vividly evoked in his Three American Sketches. "Westward, Look!" engages with its catchy rhythmic syncopation, while "New York, New York" has a breeziness recalling classic Dave Brubeck. Finally, there' a seven-song suite arranged by Cuban Leo Brouwer, guitar composer second to none. Highlights include a wistful and harmonically sumptuous "Here, There and Everywhere", and the elaborate fantasy conjured from "Eleanor Rigby". Crisply and atmospherically recorded.
