In a series of collaborations and interesting solo projects, his second solo album with his own compositions, released in 2014, figures prominently featuring his composition The Little Prince inspired by the Saint-Exupéry's modern fairy tale. Bounded by the classical guitar repertoire by J. K. Mertz and M. Giuliani, the program echoes the southern atmosphere: South American Indian heritage is embedded into the language of Brazilian great name of Villa-Lobos, while Argentinean tango experienced a unique development in Piazzolla’s work. Along with the Spanish inspirations of the guitar virtuoso Miguel Llobet and composer Joaquín Turina, there are timeless tunes of Bach's solo suite, originally composed for the cello, as well.
