Classical Guitar World - Classical Guitar

Egberto Gismonti (b. 1947, Brazil) is a musician of extraordinary facility--a guitarist with a highly evolved, personal technique, as well as a fine pianist. A virtuoso on both guitar and piano, Egberto Gismonti has created a body of work that stand at the crossroads of his native Brazil’s folk tradition and the world of classical music, in a way which echoes his predecessor Heitor Villa-Lobos. He is also a masterful improviser. Gismonti has been described as approaching the fretboard as though it were a keyboard, often creating the impression of more than one player. His blazing technique is capable of summoning up an almost orchestral palette of colours. Ссылка скрыта
