Kyu Hee Park plays Giuliani op.30

Korean guitarist Kyu Hee Park plays 3rd movement of Mauro Giuliani’s concerto op.30. She makes it look so easy. I really like her ultra clear musical ideas in shaping, articulation, and colour. So direct and well executed. Hard to accomplish…

Gohar Vardanyan Plays Manuel De Falla

An excellent performance of Spanish Dance no. 1 from La Vida Breve by Manuel De Falla. Performed by Gohar Vardanyan via her YouTube. I thought this was tricky enough on two guitars but Gohar rocks it. Nice one. Guitar by Jean Rompré.

Sharon Isbin, Stanley Jordan & Romero Lubambo

I don’t know what to make of this! It’s certainly interesting but cluttered sounding. Not a bad cluttered, but just intensely crowded. Neat though and the interaction between them is great. Via Sharon Isbin’s YouTube: Sharon Isbin, Stanley Jordan &…

Vladimir Gorbach plays Gigue, BWV 997 by Bach

Vladimir Gorbach plays a well articulated gigue from Bach’s Lute Suite #2 BWV 997 on a 1937 Hermann Hauser I classical guitar. He has a great dance feel going with such a nice strong sense of pulse. He really digs in…

Introducing Trio Tangere

An interesting trio of two guitars and violin! Think of the arrangement possibilities when two guitars can function for the piano parts. Pianists are going to be pissed off when a horde of guitarists start taking their work! Trio Tangere includes Marc…

Full Recital by Jorge Caballero

Nice! Over one hour of Jorge Caballero playing in São Paulo, Brasil for the 4º Festival Internacional Leo Brouwer. I really like Jorge’s playing, he has chops to burn and I love his daring transcription.  My only complaint would be that the fast…

Anton Baranov plays Suburbio by Moscardini

Guitar Foundation of America 2013 winner plays Suburbio by Carlos Moscardini. Another nice and clear player. Clear separation of sound seems to be the current trend which is likely a good thing for the music overall. Is it partly the guitar…
