Описание: Leo Brouwer - Preludio de las campanas y Paisaje cubano con campanas

Preludio de las campanas (2013) by Leo Brouwer
Paisaje cubano con campanas (1986) by Leo Brouwer

The piece Paisaje Cubano con Campanas (Cuban Landscapes with Bells) (1986) is a minimalistic gem of the classical guitar repertoire that showcases the versatility of the instrument. The Cuban landscape is painted with colors unique to the guitar that Brouwer knows best that would not be possible on other instruments.

In it you’ll year the beautiful campanella effect, rich timbre changes, and sections entirely composed with techniques like natural harmonics and two-handed tapping—all through Maestro Brouwer’s signature atmospheric voice. I paired and performed this piece “attacca” with his newly composed Preludio de las Campanas written in 2013 and dedicated to Alberto Mesirca.

This piece is a special one to me as it was the one I preformed at the Brouwer masterclass at Mannes he taught when he visited NYC. He taught me a lot about the architecture of sound and dynamic design and I tried to bring his notes into this recording. I’m very grateful to Michael Newman for the invitation, and the #Mannes and New York Guitar Seminar teams for setting up that amazing day! I’m sure many will never forget it.
