Description
Travelling guitars
From Johann Sebastian Bach and his Suite BWV 997 – originally written for the Lautenwerck (lute-harpsichord) – to Ejnar Kanding’s Suite Resonances for guitar and electronics, George Vassilev’s program is all about variety. Under the musician’s deft fingers, strings travel through time – and geography! Joaquin Turina, one of the great figures of early 20th-century Hispanic music, takes us to Seville, describing its lively streets, sunshine and splendor; Carlo Domeniconi, for his part, gives us his sonic reading of the Turkish countryside with his Suite Koyunbaba – otherwise known as pastoral – inspired by the life of a Sufi monk saint. Vassilev himself awakens solar Spanish memories with his Tema Flamenca.
Let’s open our ears and set off on an adventure: the guitar will be our guide!
