Folklore Virtuoso [Import]

Classical guitarist Lucian Plessner has recorded a remarkable CD with "Folklore Virtuoso". Classically trained virtuosity meets the originality of folkloric themes: the result is beautiful guitar music of wholly unstrained virtuosity, as romantic as it is spirited. "Folklore Virtuoso" consists of the "Canti Napoletani" (an arrangement cycle by Venezuelan guitarist Alirio Diaz), edits by Argentine guitarist and vocalist Eduardo Falú, as well as the "Canciones Populares Mexicanas" by Manuel Maria Ponce. "Alirio Diaz and Eduardo Falú tore me out of a world of academic music at the age of nineteen and let me experience the immediate primeval artist." Today, Plessner is able to present the virtuos-folkloric repertoire incomparably artistically.
