Description
This album is a festival of guitar sound - sometimes grand orchestral drama, and sometimes foot-stomping fun. Featuring the quartet's own arrangements of works that already exist in more than one version, by Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, and Grieg, the programme plays with the idea of musical works as constantly evolving. The result is a tour de force of the VIDA Guitar Quartet's mastery of colour, texture, rhythm, line, and dramatic effect. The VIDA Guitar Quartet brings together four guitarists of exceptional artistry and "unerring musical instinct" (Gramophone) Since forming in 2007, VIDA has performed to critical acclaim in major UK venues including King's Place (London), London's Southbank Centre, The Sage (Gateshead), and St George's (Bristol). They are sought-after festival artists throughout the UK, Europe, North America, and China, and are represented by Lisa Sapinkopf Artists. VIDA are D'Addario String classical artists.
