Spanish guitar music has embraced a vast range of styles and musical incarnations over the past five centuries. This CD features highlights from the development of Spanish guitar music through the 16th century Renaissance to the Romantic and Nationalist classics we know and love today.
Significant shipping delays outside of Europe! The Weimar Guitar Quartet is an enchanting innovation in the world of chamber music. The ensemble consists of Stephanie Jones, Karmen Stendler, Hanna Link and Jakob Schmidt. The four renowned musicians from Australia, Slovenia and Germany played their first concert together in 2016. Since then they have been inseparable on stage, where they delighted their listeners with an unmistakable enthusiasm for all sounds the guitar has to offer.
Their playing is notable for their great technical repertoire, a wealth of contrasts and sound colours, and an uncompromising devotion to music in detail and drama. All four musicians were fortunate to enjoy an exceptional education with the best teachers from across the globe. This, along with many awards and prizes, is only a confirmation of an unforgettable experience that is shared with a world-wide audience.
This album is a cherished collection featuring some of my favourite pieces from the vibrant and musically rich continent of South America.
