Rolf Lislevand Plays Santiago de Murcia on a 1679 Guitar

Rolf Lislevand on Baroque Guitar

Rolf Lislevand plays A.Stradivari Sabionari, 1679 guitar. He’s playing Tarantela by Spanish guitarist and composer Santiago de Murcia (1673–1739). I just love Baroque guitar with its pluckier softer sound. When played on modern guitar the strumming is a bit harsh and the sustain creates some mud. However, on Baroque guitar it is all charm!

Plus, look at that shop!
