Produktbeschreibung

Der spanische Meistergitarrist Paco de Lucía, dessen Todestag sich 2021 zum siebten Mal jährt, steht im Zentrum der neuen CD des Eos Guitar Quartet (Julio Azcano, Marcel Ege, David Sautter, Michael Winkler). Für die vier Musiker waren seine Musik, seine Innovationskraft und nicht zuletzt der persönliche Kontakt zu ihm eine stete Quelle der Inspiration.

Als Ausdruck dieser großen Bewunderung hat das Eos Guitar Quartet nun die drei Komponisten, Leo Brouwer, John McLaughlin und José Antonio Rodriguez gebeten, ein Werk unter dem Motto «Hommage an Paco de Lucía» für das Ensemble zu schreiben. Entstanden sind dabei Werke, die das Repertoire für Gitarrenquartett auf hervorragende Weise bereichern.

Ganz im Sinne Pacos spielt das Eos Guitar Quartet neben drei Tänzen von Manuel de Falla Eigenkompositionen von Marcel Ege und David Sautter. Durch den Gesang der legendären Flamenco Sängerin Carmen Linares und der subtilen Begleitung des Perkussionisten Ricardo Espinosa erhält diese CD eine wunderbare Ergänzung und Aufwertung.

Michael Winkler plays Francisco Tárrega

Written by Solo Musica on . Posted in 2020, EOS, Winkler.

Artist: Michael Winkler

Title: Michael Winkler plays Francisco Tárrega

Catalogue No.: EOS 234200-15

Description

The guitarist Michael Winkler is internationally known as a musical frontier crosser, especially through the Eos Guitar Quartet. After his debut LP, the highly acclaimed Bach album and the CD midlife with original compositions, he now presents his fourth solo album with original compositions by Tárrega.

Francisco Tárrega 1852-1909, was a Spanish guitarist and composer. He is still considered the founder of modern guitar playing and the most prominent guitarist and teacher of his era. “When I first heard Tárrega’s music as a young man, I was immediately in love with the melodies, harmonies and elegance of his waltzes. I played the pieces at every opportunity until they became “my” pieces. Later I discovered polyphony and forgot about Tárrega’s music, until finally in 2019 I dared to reinterpret it with a grasp of my eyes. I interpreted many things more slenderly and rhythmically tighter than at that time, thought phrasings larger, but also took more time. The beautiful spatial sound of the band supported my joy of playing, stimulated my creativity and fulfilled my wish to record the CD in a natural acoustic.
