| Quote: | “Hoppstock provides us with a recording that stands on its own regarding not only its philological merit but also its imaginative and unbiased interpretation. As a performing artist, Hoppstock, as always, has something new to reveal, his lively performances combining depth and analytical insight with an instrumental rendition that never fails to adequately portray the spirit of the respective piece, if sometimes to the extreme... The sound quality of this recording, by the way, is nothing short of excellent.”
Guitart (Italy), 4/02 |
| Quote: | „You are astonished to realize the amazing possibilities of the guitar, if you listen to the mastership of such stilistic and sensitive interpretation. Tilman Hoppstock belongs to that generation of young virtuosos, who are – because of modern studio equipment up from the beginning – deeply involved in listening and analyzing music well structured. Bravo in all terms of critics!“
Interpretation: 10 points (from 10), sound quality: 10 points (from 10), general impression: 10 points (from 10)
Gerhard Pätzig, Klassik heute 3/04 |
| Quote: | Tilman Hoppstock (* 1961) studied guitar and cello in Darmstadt and Cologne.
Since 1978 he has undertaken concerttours to the most important culturcentres of the whole world. Tilman Hoppstock has so far made solo appearances in all major centres from Paris to London and from New York to San Francisco, as well as in cities as scattered as Berlin, Jerusalem, Athens, Istanbul, Tokyo, Boston, Singapore, Casablanca, Martinique and Mexico-City.
Between 1982 and 1985 he gave more than 300 recitals in Europe and overseas.
In addition, he has appeared in concerts and made radio, television and commercial recordings with many ensembles and chamber artists such as Christoph Prégardien (tenor), Peter Wolf (cello), Rainer Zipperling (Baroque cello), Duo Gruber/Maklar, the Rubio String Quartet and Alexis Weissenberg (piano).
Beside his live performances, the artist has recorded 20 LPs/CDs which have been received enthusiastically by the press. In 1999, T. Hoppstock and his partner in duet, singer Christoph Prégardien, were awarded the ‘Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik’ (2/99) for their CD ‘songs of love & death’ (SIGNUM X 95-00).
Hessen Radio and Deutschlandfunk presented a feature on him in 1998.
In addition to his performing career, Tilman Hoppstock has gained recognition as a publisher of over 50 music editions for children (chambermusic) and advanced guitar students, and of arrangements of baroque works for solo guitar (Froberger, L. Couperin, Buxtehude, Bach). His expertise in Ancient Music resulted in the publication of a critically acclaimed scientific edition of Bach’s works for Lute which is now regarded a standard source by guitarists all over the world.
He runs musicological seminars ( „The art of fugue by Bach“ - „Etudes and Preludes by Villa-Lobos“ - „The music for guitar by Leo Brouwers“ - „Different style of harpsichord music by Froberger, Buxtehude and Bach“ - „The complete studies by Fernando Sor“) and has been a very welcome guest at festivals in Europe and overseas for years now.
In 1998/99 Tilman Hoppstock took invitations to give concerts and masterclasses at the “Royal Academy of Music” in London, at the “Manhattan School of Music” in New York and in 2006 at the "University of South California" in Los Angeles. Between 2003-2005 he was invited to teach as a guest professor at the Music – High School in Piteå (Sweden).
He has been teaching guitar classes at the Gutenberg University in Mainz and the Academy of Music in Darmstadt for more than 20 years and additionally teaches chamber music, guitar harmony and counterpoint Music. |

| Quote: | "In the realm of classical guitar, there is a small handful of luminaries whose concerts and recordings have earned them international stature. Scottish-born guitarist David Russell is one of the these rare performing artists who has garnered favor with audiences, guitar aficionados, music critics and concert presenters around the world."
"Russell is a guitarist's guitarist. His playing embodies unforced, thoughtful musicaliy, made possible by an apparently effortless technique - something only a few players ever attain, let alone harness to the ends to which Russell has." - Acoustic Guitar
"...Russell coaxes a magnificent range of colors from his instrument...a charming disc and definitely a keeper." - Billboard
"Russell's program of dances and other short movements by composers like Jorge Morel, Augustin Barrios, Villa-Lobos, and Antonio Lauro is as pristine as any of his recordings of Bach. All is exquisite detail, lustrous tone, and perfectly balanced interpretation." - American Record Guide
"Blessed by the most natural recorded sound, Aire Latino dazzles with the rainbow of sonorities that Russell conjures on his six-string...This is a disc that will charm Latin music lovers as much as classical guitar aficionados." - The Star Ledger |
| Quote: | GRAMMY award winner in 2005 for his CD AIRE LATINO, in the category of best instrumental soloist in classical music.
Classical guitarist David Russell is world renowned for his superb musicianship and inspired artistry, having earned the highest praise from audiences and critics alike. In recognition of his great talent and his international career, he was named a Fellow of The Royal Academy of Music in London in 1997.
In May 2003 he was bestowed the great honor of being made "adopted son" of Es Migjorn, the town in Minorca where he grew up. Recently the town named a street after him, "Avinguda David Russell", in recognition for his musical career.
In November 2003 he was given the Medal of Honor of the Conservatory of the Balearics.
After winning the Grammy award, the town of Nigrán in Spain where he resides, gave him the silver medal of the town in an emotional ceremony.
During his studies at the Royal Academy, Mr. Russell won twice the Julian Bream Guitar Prize. Later he won numerous international competitions, including the Andrés Segovia Competition, the José Ramírez Competition and Spain's prestigious Francisco Tárrega Competition.
David Russell spends his time touring the world, appearing regularly at prestigious halls in main cities, such as New York, London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Madrid, Toronto or Rome. Concert-goers everywhere are in awe of Mr. Russell's musical genius and inspired by his captivating stage presence. His love of his craft resonates through his flawless and seemingly effortless performance. The attention to detail and provocative lyrical phrasing suggest an innate understanding of what each individual composer was working to achieve, bringing to each piece a sense of adventure.
This year he received an hommage from the music conservatory of Vigo, culminating with the opening of the new Auditorium, to which they gave the name "Auditorio David Russell".
Since 1995 David Russell has an exclusive recording contract with Telarc International, with whom he has recorded eleven CDs up to now, among them Aire Latino, which received a grammy this year.
The New York Times wrote about his performance: "... Mr. Russell made his mastery evident without ever deviating from an approach that places musical values above mere display. It was apparent to the audience throughout the recital that Mr. Russell possesses a talent of extraordinary dimension".
Upon hearing play in London, Andrés Segovia wrote: "My congratulations on your musicality and guitaristic technique". |

Duo Sonare
Plays Mike Oldfield's Opus One
Dabringhaus & Grimm MDG 630 0628-2, 1996
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
1. Part I
2. Part 2
3. The Sailor's Hornpipe
Thomas Offermann - guitar, voice
Jens Wagner - guitar, voice
Ian Vance Melrose - speaker (3)
An amazon reviewer:
| Quote: | I have always been a fan of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells and its sequels. I was searching the net for CD singles from Tubular Bells III when I came across a forum and read a short post about this guitar duo. I followed it up with some more searching and ended up buying it. Why? Read on. I listened to the short sound clips of the tracks and was impressed. Duo Sonare seem to have researched the exact guitar phrasing very closely and it shows. I'm sure we have all heard 'covers' of favourite pieces of music and been disappointed by the results - parts 1 and 2 of this album are definitely NOT in that category!
However, it does strike me as odd that the version of the Sailors Hornpipe that they chose to cover is the 'drunken' Vivian Stanshall one from the Mike Oldfield 3-album Boxed Set and not the original release instrumental version. Yes, I know the Viv Stanshall version was preferred by Mike Oldfield but in this cover it is odd and slightly embarrassing. Vivian is amusing but to blandly repeat his words in a dead-pan, upper-class and obviously sober voice just doesn't work. Nevertheless, as it is only a very short section of the whole album it barely detracts from the whole listening experience. Given the difficult structuring of the original music I believe that Duo Sonare have created a wonderful version.
If you are a fan of the first Tubular Bells or its orchestral version then I highly recommend this classical guitar duo version to you. It is very relaxing to listen to.
If you are not a fan of the original Tubular Bells or Mike Oldfield I can still commend this music to you. It is wonderful.......and it may just sow the seeds of a an experience that will make you wonder what you have missed all those years since 1973. |

Göran Söllscher - guitar
| Quote: | Göran Söllscher returns to his first love, the music of the Baroque Era -- interpreted on his magnificent 11-string guitar - with a new programme of popular favourites and musical rarities.
Here is a beautifully sequenced Baroque album to the successful Schubert for Two , featuring such popular melodies as Bach’s Air on a G string, and two Minuets from the famous Notebook of Anna Magdalena Bach, as well as rarities by well-known composers, like Pachelbel’s Suite in F sharp minor and Couperin’s Les baricades mistérieuses.
A Suite in G major by Johann Anon Logy is receiving its world-première recording: Göran found the music manuscript in the library of his home town in Sweden.
All pieces are performed on the 11-string guitar, giving an incredibly rich, sustained sound, as well as adding an octave to the bottom of its register – as if combining the sound of a guitar with that of the lute.
The Galaxy Studio in Mol, Belgium provided an ideal recording venue – it’s probably the quietest studio in the world, with no extraneous noise, thus allowing us to capture the instrument’s full range and resulting in a recording of extraordinary clarity.
The CD booklet includes an informal interview with Göran Söllscher. |

Background information:
The disc covers two centuries of music, providing a searching test for the soloist. The Bach Suite has had a strange history. It started life as a work for violin, and was then arranged for lute. Now in a modern adaptation is appears in an arrangement for guitar. The work has become one of the composer's best known, the Gavotte third movement being performed in many guises. The Sonata by Ponce was composed in 1929, and pays homage to the music of Franz Schubert. In four contrasting movements, it is engaging music of a lyrical nature, happy in general mood, but is in no way derivative of the famous composer.
The works by Tárrega are typically colourful Spanish scores, packed full of virtuosity and vivacity. They are late 19th century in general style, and would have been used by the composer to please his audience. The three works by Sulek would meet our expectations of a composer who looked musically backwards. Walton, on the other hand, wrote five short movements that bristle with technical difficulties, the score residing in the mainstream of the 20th century.
About the artist:
Ana Vidovic is an extraordinary talent of formidable gifts taking her place amongst the elite musicians of the world today. She has won an impressive number of prizes and international competitions all over the world. Those include first prizes in the Albert Augustine International Competition in Bath, England, the Fernando Sor competition in Rome, Italy and the Francisco Tarrega competition in Benicasim, Spain. Other top prizes include the Eurovision Competition for Young Artists,the Mauro Giuliani competition in Italy, the Printemps de la Guitare in Belgium and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York.
Equally impressive is the fact that she has already recorded five CDs, one of them for the Naxos label,and that she has already concertized in some twenty countries throughout the world. She has performed in cities such as London, Paris, Vienna, Salzburg, Rome, Budapest, Warsaw, Tel Aviv, Oslo, Copenhagen, Toronto, Baltimore, San Francisco, Houston, Austin, Dallas and St.Louis.
In her native Croatia she has performed with the Zagreb Soloists and the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra and with Symphony Orchestra of the Croatian Radio and Television,as well as having been featured in three television documentaries by the eminent Croatian film director Petar Krelja.
Ana Vidovic began playing the guitar at the early age of five and at thirteen she was the youngest student ever to enter the Musical Academy in Zagreb,where she studied with Professor Istvan Romer. Currently she is attending the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, MD, where she is further refining her remarkable gifts under the tutelage of world renown guitarist Manuel Barrueco.

Hans Werner Henze - Royal Winter Music. Sonatas on Shakespearean Characters
Stradivarius STR 33670, 2005
First Sonata on Shakespearean Characters
1. Gloucester
2. Romeo And Juliet
3. Ariel
4. Ophelia
5. Touchstone, Audrey And William
6. Oberon
Second Sonata on Shakespearean Characters
7. Sir Andrew Aguecheeck
8. Bottom's Dream
9. Mad Lady Macbeth
| Quote: | | "Nobody plays this music as well as you do. I think your extraordinary musicality also makes you find technical answers on the guitar that seem unknown to the average player. I have never heard such a skillful and musically moving performance, and such mastery." - Hans Werner Henze |
| Quote: | ... The work, which consists of two sonatas that reflect on Shakespearean characters, represents some of the most ambitious music in the guitar repertory.
The speech "Now is the winter of our discontent," from Richard III, inspired both the title of the cycle and the opening movement, "Gloucester." That movement's rhythmically jagged, melodically disjunct first theme portrays Richard's barely contained rage at his fate. Following sonata form, this is contrasted with a legato second theme, using the implied polyphony favored by lute composers and portraying the idle pleasures enjoyed by the rest of the royal court. Tanenbaum captured these extreme moods while creating a remarkable dramatic synergy that led inexorably to the startling modified recapitulation, with its percussive effects unprecedented in their variety, intensity, and structural necessity.
The emphatic music of "Gloucester" is followed by three quiet and intimate movements. "Romeo and Juliet" is a secretive duet between the masculine lower pitches of the guitar's range and the feminine higher pitches. Generally soft and consonant, it builds to a forte climax that uses more dissonant intervals and rhythmic independence, perhaps reflecting the tragic aspects of the story.
"Ariel" is a quicksilver fantasy that depicts three episodes in The Tempest when that imprisoned spirit plays a harp. Henze imitates the harp with a series of extraordinary arpeggios that create a bell-tone "campanella" texture and involve the entire range of the guitar.
"Ophelia" is a gentle, plaintive setting of the song "'Tis the Last Rose of Summer," which Henze imagines Hamlet's mad and pathetic friend singing, in half-forgotten phrases, as she drowns. The melody is very high on the instrument. Sometimes phrases are complete, but more often they break off unpredictably. The accompaniment is suggestive of waves, at first gently rocking but gradually slower and more overwhelming as Ophelia presumably drowns. Tanenbaum's playing was tender, mercurial, and heartbreaking.
"Touchstone, Audrey and William" is a scherzo that portrays three minor characters from As You Like It: Touchstone, the sophisticated clown, William, the country bumpkin, and Audrey, the country maid they fight over. A hilarious transformation of an Elizabethan galliard, this masterpiece of comic portrayal concludes with the victorious Touchstone engaging in some macho posturing to the sound of flamenco rasgueados. Tanenbaum (playing Touchstone's displaced dance rhythms with panache and executing Williams' drone on open fifths with gusto) made us smile.
"Oberon" is a sonata rondo characterized primarily by a peaceful rising diatonic motive that contrasts with the capricious music of Puck and incorporates music reminiscent of earlier movements. The peaceful introspection of Tanenbaum's playing made this final movement of the First Sonata a benediction on the passions experienced throughout.
The Second Sonata of Royal Winter Music, in three movements, is a sonata in the simple pre-Classical sense of an extended instrumental work, not an example of the later Classical sonata form. It begins with two gracious portraits. "Sir Andrew Aguecheek," from Twelfth Night, is a spoiled aristocrat totally out of touch with reality, and his campaign to win the love of Olivia is doomed to failure. Henze writes a gently comic march that continually breaks down and loses focus in a series of episodes sometimes touching and sometimes humorous but always irrelevant to Aguecheek's purpose. A desultory march is an oxymoron, and Tanenbaum provides the subtle and deft rhythmic sense this music requires.
"Bottom's Dream" eschews the broad satire often associated with the story of this simple buffoon, focusing instead on the sweet bliss of Bottom's fantasy that all the boorishness that has hitherto encumbered him has fallen away and that he lies blissfully in Titania's arms. Tanenbaum invests the predominant falling thirds and sixths with a wistful and gentle enchantment.
The final movement, "Mad Lady Macbeth," is an incredible tour de force. Henze imagines the madwoman "clad in a long robe, her hair undone, her crazy eyes following the smoky flickering light of a candle. . . . She is totally mad, talks incoherently, sings dirty ditties, swears and shouts. For all that . . . her madness is majestic." The score includes instructions to the guitarist at various times to play fiercely, proudly, with pathos, with noisy vulgarity and weeping. Henze calls for a dynamic range from pppp to ffff, 20 tempo changes, and unconventional vibrato, tamboura, glissandi, and percussion. Tanenbaum met the huge demands placed on the performer with passion and persuasive conviction. While his fragile Ophelia evoked pity, his interpretation of Mad Lady Macbeth was terrifying.
In an introductory note to the score, Henze wrote that the guitar "possesses a richness of sound capable of embracing everything one might find in a gigantic contemporary orchestra; but one has to start from silence to notice this: one has to pause and completely exclude noise." Tanenbaum's mastery of the extreme dynamic range and broad color palette necessary to project Henze's orchestral vision, as well as his intimate understanding of the score based on almost 20 years of performance and collaboration with the composer, made this the most profound and enjoyable guitar event of the season. - Scott Cmiel

| Quote: | Grete von Zieritz was born in Vienna in 1899. Between 1912 and 1917 in Graz she studied piano under H.Krocmer and composition under R. v. Mojsisovics. Later, she continued with her piano studies in Berlin under M. Krause an R.M.Breithaupt, and worked as a piano teacher there at the Sternsche Conservatory from 1919 to 1921. At the age of twenty she composed the 'Japanese Songs', whose premiere in 1921 was such a success that she ultimately decided to become a professional composer. However, she had to continue teaching piano in order to earn a living. Beginning in 1926, she studied composition for five years under Franz Schreker.
In 1928 G. v. Zieritz received the Mendelssohn State Prize for composition and, in addition, was awarded the Schubert Scholarship by the Columbia Phonograph Company in New York. In 1939 she was the only woman among composers from 18 countries at the International Music Festival in Frankfurt. In 1950 she represented Germany at the first International Women Composers Competition. In 1958 she received the title of professor and the 'Cross of Honour for Science and the Arts (First Class)' from the President of Austria. In 1979 she was awarded the Federal Republic of Germany's highest decoration for public service, the Verdienstkreuz am Bande. The composer had a major success in 1984 at the Berlin Festival Week with the premiere of the 'Gypsy Concerto' for violin and orchestra and the 'Concertino' for clarinet, bassoon, horn and string quintet. In 1986 her piece 'Cassandra Cries' was received with equal enthusiasm. G. v. Zieritz lives and works in Berlin.(A.Wolf) |
| Quote: | Isaac Albéniz, child prodigy, pupil of Dukas and d'Indy, endeavoured in his compositional works of Romantic and Impressionism to create a synthesis with the extensively rich Folklore of his native country. The existing short cycle Espana belongs more to the masterworks of lyrical miniature. The original piano score is of remarkable simplicity without losing on harmonious subtility. Glowing melodylines and hinted guitarisms bear witness of Albéniz love of his Spanish home.
The opening Prelude, which combines characteristic cantabile with typically Spanish sounding chordfigures, is followed by one of the pieces, which contributed decisively to the popularity of its creator - the famous Tango .In Malaguena rapid passages are accompanied by clacking castanets and Rasgueados, while the Serenata takes on a more harmonic and melodic expression.. After the Catalonian Capriccio with its ingratiating third-dominated-melody, the series closes with the dancing Zortzico, an old Basquian dance in five-eight-time.
The music of Enrique Granados owes its success to the combination of European musical tradition and Spanish colour, clearly lyrically and melodically formed. Thus the Escenas Poéticas show only a few folkloristic-spanish references. The Escenas show more an evidence of Granados intensive occupation with the German Romantic (s. Eva y Walter, the pair of lovers from Meistersinger von Nürnberg) .The short cycle of the Escenas is opened with the lyrical Berceuse,a lullaby. The dreamy tendency of this piece is relativated by an astonishingly expressive middlepart. The last piece of the cycle is the melancholic and equally buoyant Danza de la rosa,a gentle waltz of urgent simplicity.
The Danza by Grete von Zieritz belongs to the best and most difficult compositions for 'guitar trio'. The piece shows an independent, atonal and very individual musical language. It was written in 1979. The Danza combines typical guitar techniques like rasgueado, glissandi and fast scales with a true modern harmonic and demonstrates a style of composition, which is not influenced by the predominant expectations but only by the musical ideas of the composer.
Modest Mussorgskijs Pianosuite Pictures at an Exibition belongs certainly to the most frequently arranged works of the so-called classical literature. The contemplation of the original roots of this work animated the Granados Trio to arrange the pictures for their line-up. Remembering that the Pictures at an Exhibition are really a series of piano-miniatures, having structurally more in common with the other piano-cycles on this CD than with the orchestral excesses of the everyday symphony, one can lend an ear in confidence to this version. Inspired by an exhibition of the unpublished works of his suddenly deceased painter-friend Viktor Hartmann, Mussorgskij created in 1874 a cycle of piano compositions, inspired by the ten exhibits.
The composer sub-divided these ten compositions by adding Promenades, short preludes and interludes, which render in a way the observers subjective impressions. Their main theme runs characteristically through the whole work. The actual pictures open for the listener a whole palette of varying moods and nuances of expressions: the very nearly expressionist grotesqueness of Gnomus is relieved by the melancholy sing-song of Vecchio Castello. The francophile and playful Tuileries with their playing and teasing children, contrast to the Russian melancholy of Bydlo, picturing the unspeakable labour of towing the oxencart. The version of the delight Ballett der unausgeschlüpften Küken, brought to attention by nimble pizzicati and playful ponticello, flows into the equally grave and pitiful picture of Samuel Goldenberg und Schmyle - the rich and the poor jew. The market-place from Limoges paints on the other hand a humorous scene, in which the bickering and the nagging of the market women lead on into musical absurdity. The contrast to the following double movement Catacombae and Cum mortuis in lingua mortua could not be greater, a dark musical Memento Mori, which overcomes the listener through layers of discords and through chorale melodylines. With the crack of a whip, the riding witch Baba - Yaga breaks from the solemnity and in one rapid mephistolic ride, carries the listener to the concluding finale - the Heldentor. This majestic construction inspired Mussorgskij to equally splendid and devout tones, until at the climax of the movement the promenade theme realites, and with the original promenade's festive and optimistic gesture the Pictures at an Exhibition come to an end. |
| Quote: | | The three musicians Rainer Grunz, Christopher Brandt and Elmar Rothe met during their studies in the masterclass of classical guitar of Prof. Michael Teuchert at the University of Music in Frankfurt (Main). The Granados Trio was formed in 1991. In 1992 they already showed their outstanding musical and technical qualities when they succeeded against international competition, by becoming prizewinner of the "International Contest of Trios and Quartets" in Völklingen, Germany. This success has been followed by many concerts and broadcasting performances in Germany. The repertoire of the Granados Trio now covers all periods of music, ranging from William Byrd to Aaron Copland. Masterpieces, technically and musically impossible for one guitar to play, can be realized by the Trio, which gives them the possibility of transcriptions covering the whole repertoire from Baroque music to the music of the Twentieth Century. Necessary, of course, is a natural feeling of good taste, musical demands and the ability of the ensemble to play with disciplined musicality and technical perfection. The Granados Trio meets perfectly these demands in an extraordinary way. The brilliantly realized transcriptions stay as close as possible to the originals. The Trio give them wonderful new aspects and colours, playing with inspiration, easygoing virtuosity and astonishing precision. |

Background information:
Just as Franz Liszt created new repertoire and technique for the piano by transcribing Symphonies and Operas and then developing new techniques with which to play them, Kazuhito Yamashita took a similar path in the early 1980's and so revolutionised the world of possibilities on the guitar.
By transcribing well known pieces of orchestral music for solo guitar he has encouraged a trend which could make classical guitar much more appealing and accessible to concert programmers and the general concert going audience.
