Duo Hierba Buena
Tangoduo från Spanien / Tyskland
Duo "Hierba Buena" - Tangos - Canciones ( visor )
"Hierba Buena" skildrar händelser ur
vardagen - visor om kärlek och livet i allmänhet, omväxlande presenteras innehållet i
scenisk form innan musiken börjar, eller den tyska översättningen reciteras skickligt
med musik. Oförgätna visor från Argentina och Spanien ingår även i repertoiren liksom
kompositioner och bearbetningar av moderna stycken. Gitarr och sång musicerar glatt och
livligt tillsammans för att vid nästa tillfälle med elegans och inlevelse interpretera
melankoliska - av längtan fyllda visor, som får publiken att drömma och njuta.
Med programmet „Tangos och Canciones“ blev
"Hierba Buena" inbjuden att deltaga i olika sammanhang i Förbundsrepubliken
Tyskland, till exempel i „Philharmonie Essen“, Jazzvår Reutlingen,
Gitarrfestival Ruhr. Duons konstnärliga intensitet och sympatiska presentation
uppskattades av publiken och kritiken.Vid slutet av Gitarrfestivalen Ruhr 2005
skrev, t.ex. Ruhr Nachrichten: Båda i Duon "Hierba Buena" hör till de
musiker i Ruhrområdet som man bör har upplevt. I juli 2005 komm en CD till programmet
ut.
Sónnica Yepes och Thomas Hanz är sedan år tillbaka medlemmar i den välkända Sextetten „Un Tango Mas“. Med samma titel har en CD producerats av Label Musicom.

Son de La Frontera
Flamenco from spain
One of the
most dynamic and asked for flamenco groups in Spain today is Son de La Frontera. They
create a new interpretation of the flamenco and develop the inheritance after the great
legend of the flamenco guitarworld, Diego del Gastor. They mix the strong musical
inheritage with influence from different places of the world. The roots of flamenco from
the Middel East can be heard clearly but also mixed with rhythm and melody from
Cuba, Argentina and other South American countries. Together with the traditional setting
with flamenco guitar, handclapp and flamencodance the group introduces a small instrument
similar to the guitar from Cuba called "tres". The group comes from the region
of Sevilla and district of Moron de La Frontera. From here they have a great heritage of
both musical and family in traditions of flamenco but create a new sound "the sound
of
Son de La Frontera"
Flamenco revolutionärer
En av de mest dynamiska och efterfrågade flamenco grupperna i Spanien i dag är Son de la Frontera. De skapar en ny tolkning av flamencon och utvecklar arvet efter den store legenden i flamencogitarrvärlden, Diego del Gastor. De blandar det starka musikaliska arvet med influenser från flera av världens hörn. Flamencons ursprung från mellanöstern hörs tydligt men blandas också i rytm och melodi med musik från Kuba, Argentina och andra länder i Sydamerika. Till den traditionella sättningen med flamencogitarr, handklapp och flamencodans har gruppen lagt till en tres, ett litet gitarrliknande instrument från Kuba. Gruppen kommer från Sevillaregionen och orten Moron de la Frontera. Därifrån har de alla ett stort arv, både musikaliskt och med sin släkt, i flamencotraditionen men skapar ett eget nytt sound. ”Ljudet av gränslandet” Son de la Frontera.
22-stringed Guitar Duo
(Carsten Linck, Germany and Carsten Grøndahl)
Carsten Linck and Carsten Grøndahl are the members of a world unique guitar duo devoted to play music on two 11-stringed alto guitars (built by Georg Bolin, Sweden).The premier of the 22-stringed Guitar Duo took place in Germany in 2005. Year 2006 they will be performing in Spain, Sweden and Denmark. Their versatile repertoire ranges from Renaissance and Barock pieces to "classical" Spanish music and works from younger composers influenced by Latin-American folk music. The duo's extraordinary and very rare 11stringed Altoguitars (made by Georg Bolin) are particulary suitable for differentiated and sonorous reproduction of lute music of the Renaissance and the Barock Ages. Even modern transcriptions of harpsichord and piano literature (like Bach: English and French Suites, Partitas, Scarlatti: Sonatas; Schubert: Moments musicaux) made possible by the expanded register of the Altoguitar promise exiting and impressive concert evenings.
22-stringed Guitar Duo består av Carsten Linck och Carsten Grøndahl. Duon är en världsunik duo som hängivit sig till att spela musik på två 11-strängade altgitarrer (byggda av Georg Bolin, Sverige). Premiären för 22-stringed Guitar Duo gick av stapeln i Tyskland 2005. Under 2006 har de turnerat i Spanien, Sverige och Danmark. Deras mångsidiga repetoar sträcker sig från renässans och barockstycken till klassisk spansk musik och musik gjorda av yngre kompositörer influerade av latin-amerikansk folkmusik. Duons extraordinära och väldigt sällsynta 11-strängade altgitarrer (gjorda av Georg Bolin) är särskilt anpassade och välljudande för musik för luta från renässansen och barocktiden men även moderna transkriptioner gjorda för cembalo och piano som t.ex. musik av Bach: English and French Suites, Partitas, Scarlatti: Sonatas; Schubert: Moments musicaux är möjlig via det expanderade register som altgitarren ger som lovar en spännande och effektfull konsert.

Rodrigo and Gabriela
Reviews from The Guardian jazz Cafe
London by Robin Denselow
"We're from Mexico,
not Spain", says Gabriela, "and we don't play flamenco. Our music is more like a
blender, with rock'n'roll and jazz. Do you want to hear some Metallica?"
The female half of this unlikely guitar duo is clearly enjoying herself, for she and her
partner have conquered what appeared to be an impossible challenge. They perform
instrumental music on acoustic guitars, and must contend with the noise of the drinkers
and talkers at a packed-out Jazz Cafe. Remarkably, they succeed, with the crowd at first
hushed and understandably bemused, then cheering on the series of twists in their music.
Rodrigo y Gabriela started out playing in a heavy-metal band in Mexico City, then turned acoustic, specialising in jazz, Spanish and Latin styles. They moved to Ireland where they became buskers before embarking on the concert circuit. At the Jazz Cafe, the musicians perch on stools; both sport jeans and tied-back long black hair. They look like refugees from a rock band, and their introductions, in Spanish and broken English, are witty and laconic, with stories involving anything from Will Young to the problems they encountered while inadvertently living in a brothel.
Their instrumentals have the same gutsy, free-wheeling approach
(especially when they launch into those Metallica riffs) - but that is just one part of
their subtle and original virtuoso playing. They constantly change direction: at times
Rodrigo concentrates on rapid-fire jazz or Spanish-influenced single-string playing, while
Gabriela provides slick strummed backing. Then she picks up a plectrum to match
the lead guitar work, while switching to a drifting, more delicate mood piece such as
Paris, or breaking into a sudden burst of Dave Brubeck's Take Five.
All of which is matched by an impressive sense of fun. "You can do lap-dancing or striptease to this," announces Gabriela as she launches into another complex composition. She and Rodrigo deserve to be the next guitar heroes.
Thomas Viloteau, France.
Thomas Viloteau was born in Paris (France) in 1985. He

Carsten Linck
and
Hedvig Jalhed
This concert was suppose to be performed with the singer Sara Maria Sun who unfortunately became sick so Hedvig Jalhed from Music Academy in Malmoe toke her place at the last minute. Tankyou Hedvig for a concert well done considering the short time of rehearsal.
Carsten Linck made his studies with Prof. Hans Gräf at
the Folkwang Musikhochschule, Essen and with Prof. Maritta Kersting at the Robert Schumann
School, Düsseldorf. At the same time he studied chamber music with Prof. Iwona Salling in
Essen, where he passed his exams with distinction. Additional artistic guidance was given
to him by Prof. Karl Scheit (Vienna) and Prof. Per-Olof Johnson (Malmö).
Carsten Linck plays a repertoire from the early Renaissance to first
performances of contemporary compositions, where he uses different instruments for works
of different style epoques. Besides the common 6-string concert guitar used for works
after 1900, he plays Renaissance and Baroque music on an 11-string alto guitar made by
Georg Bolin. The wide pitch range of this extraordinary and rare instrument makes it
suited for a well nuanced, soundful and faithful presentation of lute literature as well
as for novel transcriptions of harpsichord and piano music.
Based on a historically informed interpretation, Linck plays a vast
number of works of the Viennese Classics and the early Romantics (a golden ages for the
guitar), on reconstructions of instruments around 1800.
The focus of his artistic work is chamber music with a special
emphasis on song accompaniment. His repertoire consists of a wide range of original
compositions from all epoques as well as sensitive and stylistically faithful
transcriptions. Together with various vocalists, instrumentalists, and ensembles he has
been on extensive concert tours in all major cities of Germany and Europe.
More than once Carsten Linck has been a laureate of Jugend musiziert,
Germany’s national award for young musicians, as well as of the first prize at the
Internationaler Bubenreuther Musikwettbewerb. For his artistic work he received the
culture award of the city of Essen in 1992.
In addition to productions for different major radio and TV stations
(including WDR, Deutschland Radio, ZDF, Radio Bremen and RIAS Berlin) he recorded a number
of CDs for Orfeo International, SIGNUM, ARS Produktion and amphion records. These
recordings where made in collaboration with artists such as the Folkwang Guitar Duo,
Marjana Lipovsek, Sibylla Rubens, Ingeborg Danz, Prof. Scot Weir, Knut Schoch, Thomas
Cooley, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, the duo tassai (together with the violinist Carsten
Neumann) and the duo ascolto (together with the flutist Susanne Wohlmacher).
His own compositions as well as arrangements for guitar in various
chamber music settings have been published by the publishing houses Trekel (Hamburg),
Zimmermann (Frankfurt) and Hubertus Nogatz (Essen).
Gabriel Guillén
Gabriel Guillén was born in
Maracay, Venezuela. At the age of 8 he began to study the guitar by the Uruguayan guitar
player Mario Vidalin who introduced him the technique of Abel Carlevaro and the knowing
about the music from Uruguay and Argentina. Years later Guillén studied by Leopoldo
Igarza, Jose Gregorio Guanchez and Alberto Espinosa.
Guillén won 1987 the third prize in the Antonio Lauro Competition and the first prize for
the Rotary International. During this time he visited master classes by Abel Carlevaro,
Luis Zea, Rafael Benatar, Bartolomé Diaz and Franka Verhagen.
1988 Guillén won a scholarship to study in Europe and at the same year he moved to
Vienna, Austria. Visiting the classes in Vienna by Walter Würdinger and in Zürich,
Switzerland, by Konrad Ragossnig. Guillen was giving concerts in almost all European
countries, South America, USA and Japan. He has received several awards. Today Guillen is
one of the most internationally acclaimed players. He also teaches in master classes and
play concerts in more than 25 countries.
Fabio Zanon
Fabio Zanon is recognized as
one the most allembracing talents in the international guitar scene. His command of a vast
repertoire that includes all the major works written for the guitar, more than 30
concertos and the championing of new works written expressly for him have set new
standards of interpretation and contributed to change the perception of the guitar in the
classical music scene.
Fabio Zanon's investigative
and learned approach has opened up many possibilities for the guitar repertoire, both as a
solo and as a chamber instrument. In the past few years every season has seen him
première solo and orchestral contemporary works (most recently Faria's Guitar Concerto
no.2, Jan van der Roost's Concierto de Homenaje and Stephen Kenyon´s Guitar Concerto
no.1), unearth forgotten masterpieces from the past as well as perform the standards of
the repertoire for new audiences. Recent activity in the studio include his benchmark
transcriptions of Scarlatti, Van der Roost´s Concerto with I Fiamminghi Chamber
Orchestra, Tangos and Choros for flute and guitar, and the soundtracks written by Luís
Bacalov for films like Les Enfants du Siècle and Woman on Top. He has also played various
formations of chamber music, most frequently with the collaboration of flautist Marcelo
Barboza, with whom he has recorded two CDs, singer Claudia Riccitelli and, most recently,
cellist Antonio Meneses from Beaux Arts Trio.
He has also produced a series
of 26 programmes for Radio Cultura in Brazil, The Art of the Guitar, which has helped to
create new audiences for his instrument and met unsuspected public response. His editions
of early and contemporary music, Fabio Zanon Collection, are currently being published by
Mel Bay.
Although not greatly drawn to
competitions, he came to international prominence in 1996 when he was the first prize
winner of two of the most prestigious ones – the 30th Francisco Tarrega Prize
in Spain and the 14th Guitar Foundation of America GFA Guitar Competition in the USA
– in a space of a few weeks. These were followed by a succesful tour of 56 concerts
in the USA and Canada and by the launching of his first three CDs. His recording of
Villa-Lobos’ guitar works was hailed as a landmark and his debut recital CD on Naxos
was chosen best CD of 98 by the guitar critic of Gramophone magazine. In the same year he
played his debut with a major orchestra, when he stepped in at short notice for a
performance of Piazzolla’s Concerto for Guitar and Bandoneon with the London
Philharmonic. Since then he has been invited to play at venues like the Royal Festival
Hall and Wigmore Hall in London, Musikhalle in Hamburg, Carnegie Recital Hall in New York,
Verdi Hall in Milan and the São Paulo Hall and Rio Opera House in Brazil, and he has
toured most European countries and returned regularly to North and South America. Last
season brought him for the first time to Russia, with concerts at the Tchaikovsky Hall in
Moscow and at the Philharmonie in St Petersburg, and a return to the London Philharmonic
with Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez.
Fabio Zanon was born in
Brazil, where he had his formal music training, first with his father and later with
Antonio Guedes, Henrique Pinto and Edelton Gloeden. He gave his first concert at the age
of 16 and his debut as an orchestral soloist happened two years later, but he only decided
to concentrate on guitar performance after completing his education at the University of
São Paulo, where he also studied composition and conducting. By the age of 20 he had been
a top prize winner at a few international competitions but still decided to carry on with
his studies with Michael Lewin at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he also
attended Julian Bream’s masterclasses and obtained a Masters degree from the
University of London. He returned to the stage in 1995 with a concert at the Wigmore Hall
in London.

Born on July 16th 1984 in Bordeaux, Thibault Cauvin began learning classical guitar as soon as he was 6 years old with his father, the guitarist and composer Philippe CAUVIN, with whom he is still working. Being very determinated and wanting to become a solo performer, he decided to begin a solo career while pursuing his studies with Olivier Chassain at the National Conservatory of Bordeaux. There he unanimously won the gold medal and the medal of honor. At 17, he was admitted, after being unanimously nominated, at the National High Music School of Paris, where he studied with Olivier Chassain. He has been also fine-tuning techniques with Alvaro Pierri and Judicael Perroy and has attended the master classes of Aniello Desiderio, Eduardo Isaac, Roberto Aussel, Pavel Steidl, Alex Garrobé, Thomas Muller-Perring ... Thibault Cauvin has began also the inevitable international concourse circuit, motivated by a captivating world. He has to his credit, at just 20, the unique achievement of winning 13 international first prizes, including the prestigious “Stotsenberg International Guitar Competition” in Los Angeles (USA), “Concurso Internazionale di Chitarra di Mottola” (Italy), “Forum Gitarre Wien” (Austria), ” Concurso Internacional de Guitarra Clàssica Sernancelhe” (Portugal), “San Francisco International Classical Guitar Competition” (USA). Thibault Cauvin has played with the orchestra of the National Conservatory of Bordeaux, and toured with the orchestra of Benard Thomas, in Portugal, in the Antilles and in France. In 2003, he received “The prize of the Arts” from the Rotary Club of Bordeaux. After his 1st prize at the “International Alexandre Lagoya Guitar Concourse”, he has been awarded the “Prize of Dominica Island” after a concert on Dominique Island that had been broadcasted by different radio stations in the USA and in France where a CD was recorded for the Declic collection by Radio France. Thibault Cauvin has already performed numerous concerts at prestigious festivals and theatres in Europe (Radio France, Paris ; Royal Festival Hall, London ; Andrès Segovia Festival, Madrid ; Bonner Meisterkonzert, Bonn ), USA, Canada, Turkey (International Festival of Ankara), Maroc (Festival des cordes pincées, Rabat). “This exceptionally talented guitarist, is one of the most gifted of his generation. Thibault Cauvin, reinterpreting works, breathing new life into them, constantly reevaluating his contributions, has a sharp sense of originality and a natural expressivity. He is an universal guitarist, certainly one of the most eclectic and unconfined yet, possessing an undeniable richness of imagination. He makes the most of the quality and beauty of the instrument, with, first and foremost, a passion that, stirred up by the bursting energy of his youth, irresistibly fascinates.Although being almost unconscious of it, Thibault Cauvin is deeply impregnated by music. He had always been brought up with it from the cradle. All sorts of music, whitout any discrimation ! Without saying so, this is how he would like to be perceived when he plays, and it is this which probably explains his internationally increasing audience, concert after concert”.

Before the main concert with Thibault Cauvin we heard Trio MaLaDa from Hörby.

A night with Azafrán is a journey through a number of frame of mind, from tragedy and grief to explosive energy, joy of living and sensualism.

Tania Chagnot, France, one more virtuous
musician. She is a classical guitarist who started her education at the age of 8. The list
of qualifications is the most extravagant I have ever seen! She has got the first
price in all the great international competitions (inkl. the one in Paris) except one were
she came at the second place! The repertoire is wide, with both older and modern
compositions. This concert was arrange in co-operation with Gitarrens vänner i Stockholm.

Quique Sinesi, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Also
this night were devoted to the South-American tradition, tango and milonga, but in a more
modern way with some improvisations and with inspiration from the jazz. Quique Sinesi got
his own stile, but with a sharp influence from Pat Metheny and Egberto Gismonti. Quotation
Jim Hall: One of my most greatest subject of rejoicing at my last visit to Buenos Aires
was to meet and listening to Quique Sinesi. He became at once one of my absolute favorite
of artists! Quique also gave workshop at Tangohuset in Malmö.

exiting meeting. (Co-arrangement with University of Music in Malmoe).
