John Williams, Guitar A Portrait Of

John Christopher Williams (born 24 April 1941) is a Grammy Award winning Australian-born British classical guitarist. He is widely regarded as one of the finest guitarists of his generation.

He recorded "Cavatina" by Stanley Myers. The piece had originally been written for piano but at Williams' invitation, it was re-written for guitar and was expanded by Myers. The guitar version became a worldwide hit single when it was used as the theme tune to the Oscar-winning film The Deer Hunter (1979). On this album the piece is performed with a new arrangement including fluetes and clarinets briefly towards the end.
