Joshua Shi plays the Final from Suite pour Guitare Op.41 by Canadian composer Jacques Hétu (1938–2010). This comes via Guitar Salon International and their YouTube channel. Played on a on a 1988/2016 Jeff Elliott that was built in 1988 as an 8-string, then converted into a 6-string in 2016 (why would someone do this?). I’m currently working on this suite so can’t pass up any opportunity to post Hetu. Maybe a bit on the wiry side (more lush Romantic sustain could be good) but everything is there from great accents, dynamics, tons of excitement, and good presentation of the multi-layered texture. Plus, super impressive for this young player to pull off. Congrats to him.
