EXCLUSIVE: Guitarist Sharon Isbin on PBS Documentary 'Troubadour,' '5 Classical Albums' for Warner, Females and Gays on Guitar, Bach Suites with Rosalyn Tureck

Multi-Grammy winner, head of the studio at both Juilliard and Aspen, responsible for more new works than any other player, yes, Sharon Isbin is the very model of a modern, major guitarist. Not only does Ms. Isbin reign supreme as thee international heavyweight of the classical guitar, clearly, she's a woman--the XX-chromosomed champion of, regrettably, an all too often hyper-masculinized instrument and repertoire. To boot, Sharon Isbin is also gay.
