Classical Guitar Recordings

[Opus131]

One of the best performers of Scarlatti on guitar i've encountered on youtube:

[Brian]

Cross-posted from the Listening thread:



Wow, Meisinger's very personal approach really pays off here. The Tárrega "Capricho Árabe" sounds very convincingly Arabic, full of special effects that Meisinger exaggerates with good taste to enhance the North African feel. His Albéniz "Asturias" is also unique - a slow take (7:44) of a piece that many performers treat as a speed race to show off how fast they can handle its fearsome repeated notes. Meisinger digs especially deep in the final coda. For Carlo Domeniconi's now-classic Koyunbaba, the guitarist takes the composer's advice and improvises a four-minute prelude before reaching the published score.

One peculiar feature of the disc is very, very faint hiss, almost like tape hiss. (I listened in a quiet room on good headphones, over Qobuz, which inserts gaps between tracks; I doubt you'd hear this any other way.)

Is anyone familiar with Paul Galbraith? He's coming to my city for a concert on Thursday.

No idea of who he is...but it is good to "see" you!

Wonderful and unique guitarist with 8-string guitar.
