    Friedemann Wuttke Unter dem Titel ?Kontrast und Kontrapunkt? entlockte Wuttke seinem Instrument klassische Akkorde von Ferdinando Carulli bis Johan Sebastian Bach. Zum Künstler Friedemann Wuttke: Nach seinem Studium an der Musikhochschule Stuttgart vervollständigte der Konzertgitarrist Friedemann Wuttke seine Musikausbildung unter anderem bei Meisterkursen von Manuel Barrueco, John Williams, David Russell, Angel und Pepe Romero. Bereits während seines Studiums bekleidete er einen Lehrauftrag an der Hochschule Ludwigsburg. Seit 1992 widmet sich der Interpret ausschließlich seiner Konzerttätigkeit und der Produktion von Tonträgern. Entgegen der gängigen Vorstellung, wonach die klassische Gitarre in erster Linie der populären, eher leichten Musik verpflichtet ist, beweist der Konzertgitarrist Friedemann Wuttke das Gegenteil: er bringt sein Instrument mit geschlossenen Konzepten zum Klingen und setzt dabei auf einen starken und intensiven Klang.Friedemann Wuttke...studierte an der Musikhochschule Stuttgart und vervollständigte seine Musikausbildung unter anderem in Meisterkursen international bekannter Solisten sowie mit seinem Freund und Mentor, dem russischen Weltklasse Pianisten Igor Zhukov.Gitarre Hamburg schreibt 2005:?Nicht nur durch seine instrumentalen und musikalischen Qualitäten - die höchsten Ansprüchen genügen - hat sich der sympathische Musiker einen festen Platz in der vordersten Reihe der deutschen Gitarristik erspielt. Insbesondere sein Gespür für interessante Programmgestaltung und die fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit mit anderen namhaften Künstlern sorgen dafür, dass Friedemann Wuttke nicht unterbeschäftigt bleibt. Ein Musiker, der konsequent seinen Weg geht.?Durch die kompromisslose Hinwendung zum klassischen Repertoire und zur ernsthaften Programmgestaltung nimmt Friedemann Wuttke eine Sonderstellung unter den Konzertgitarristen ein. Seine vielseitigen Programme sind immer geprägt von klaren Inhalten und seinem künstlerisch anspruchsvollen Profil.DER GITARRIST wird nicht nur im Inland gerne eingeladen, sondern seine Konzerte führten Friedemann Wuttke in fast alle europäischen Länder, nach Russland, Südostasien, Afrika und Südamerika, wo er auch in großen Konzerthäusern als Solist oder mit Orchester auftrat. Und so stehen nach Corona in 2022 und 2023 auch wieder Auslandstourneen in seinem Kalender.Hinter all dieser Vielseitigkeit zeigt sich ein Musiker, der nicht nur sein Instrument und seine Musik liebt, sondern im Dienste der musikalischen Kommunikation steht und das Publikum teilhaben lässt an der Begeisterung, die seine Musik in ihm immer wieder auslöst. Das Zentrum seiner Konzerte bilden dabei stets anspruchsvolle und zyklisch angelegte Werke. Seine aktuellen Programme ?Bach & Mozart? (mit Johann Sebastian Bachs berühmter Chaconne d-moll), ?Mozart und Rossini?, ?Kontraste?, ?Nächte in spanischen Gärten? können mit Werken von Johann Sebastian Bach oder mit Musik aus Klassik und Romantik ebenso beeindrucken wie ein Klavierabend oder ein klassisches Kammerkonzert. Die spanischen und südamerikanischen Wurzeln eröffnen darüber hinaus noch eine andere, ganz eigene musikalische Gestalt, welche im Impressionismus zu neuen Klangfarben führte.

    Giulianimoreno-Torroba Sasseville-Quoquochi
    «He has much of taste and the true meaning of music. » Irène Brisson (Infopéra, déc.2009) «Within a few seconds of the Rossiniane getting of the ground, it became abundantly clear that whoever chose the term energic wasn't kidding... no doubt that we're in presence of a guitarist who can send out lot of notes within an impressively narrow timescale...» Paul Fowles (Classical Guitar Magazine, April 2010) «...sometimes equaling the energy of a rock band - move aside Hetfield! ...Desrosby has exceed my expectations and confirmed that Canada has a new level of upcoming high quality artists.» B.Werner (Classical Guitar Canada, august 2010) «...such a high artistic level, with so much purity in interpretation and such an ability to captivate his audience.» R.Servin-Medrano (Dir. International Guitar Festival of Ixtlahuaca, Mexico) «Trought a technique completly mastered, and a sense of musicality full of a surprising depth, he interprets the Totems with intelligence and great virtuosity.» P.Sasseville-Quoquochi (Composer) «This CD is superb. It makes it possible to appreciate the blazing and all in nuance playing of the artist in a judicious choice of classical and contemporary works » Raphaël Hovington (Hebdos Québecor, july 2009) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jean-François Desrosby is a Canadian guitarist who is known for his colourful and energetic style, and his exceptional musicality. His career as a soloist, chamber musician, and teacher, traced the path to perform in Europe, Mexico, the United States, and Canada. As a young artist, he won numerous prizes and scholarships. Graduating with high distinction from the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, he had the chance to work with great musicians, such as Rémi Boucher, Manuel Barrueco, Pavl Steidl, David Russell, and Aniello Desiderio. The Rossiniana no.1 op.119 by Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) is a fantasia, which is inspired by operatic themes of Rossini. For example, it contains themes from the operas l'Italiana in Algeri, Otello and Armida. Furthermore, it combines Rossini's melodic lines to Giuliani's instrumental virtuosity. Spanish composer Federico Moreno Torroba's (1891-1982) wrote Sonatina for the legendary Segovia. It recalls both the elegance and beauty of the Alhambra gardens and the Spanish festive spirit. Totems I and II, Pascal Sasseville-Quoquochi (1972) For American Indians, totems represent a way to get in touch with life. They symbolize the belief that the characteristics of a whole are found in all elements of living entities, whether animal, vegetable or mineral. This concept is found in the Totems, where each musical piece represents a specific totem. For example, the piece Mikisiw (Eagle) was inspired by the physical appearance of the animals, their strengths, their sanctity, and the spiritual symbol that is represented in the Atikamekw culture. These compositions give the opportunity to the listener to travel through different landscapes, shaping his mind.

    Inquieto 20th Century Masterworks
    Antoniy Kakamakov began studying the guitar at the age of ten with Milena Valtcheva, in his native country of Bulgaria. In 1997 he won first prize in the junior division of the International Classical Guitar Festival and Competition in Sinaia, Romania, and in the following year he won two first prizes in the junior divisions in the international guitar competitions in Kraiova, Romania and Assenovgrad, Bulgaria. In 1999, he was awarded full scholarship to study guitar at the Idyllwild Arts Academy, where his teachers were Terry Graves and Michael Kudirka. He received his Bachelor's degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM) in 2007, under the tutelage of David Tanenbaum, and has continued his studies there as a Master's candidate. In 2007, he received second place in the SFCM Concerto Competition and was a prize-winner in the Portland Guitar Festival and Competition. In April 2008, he won first prize in the inaugural Wesley Day Solo Classical Guitar Recording Competition. In the fall of 2008 he will continue his studies at SFCM with Sergio Assad. He has played in master classes for William Kanengiser, Duo Assad, Nigel North, Manuel Barrueco, Paul Galbraith, Ana Vidovic, Antigoni Goni, Pavel Steidl, Gyan Riley, David Grimes and the Katona Twins. In the beginning of the twentieth century the music written for guitar was largely influenced by Andres Segovia. He commissioned guitarist and non-guitarist composers and then would edit the pieces to better suit the instrument, thus most of this repertoire is very similar in it's overall sound. However, twentieth-century compositions that were not supported by Segovia were, in general, superior in content and considered a liberation from the previous dependence on the works by Torroba, Ponce, Villa-lobos etc. Antonio Jose, Frank Martin, Benjamin Britten and Maurice Ohana's compositions have just recently received the recognition they deserve, partly due to the change of the climate towards deeper understanding and appreciation of intellectual music by audiences. These masterpieces demand a new technical approach and more interpretive imagination than those commissioned by Segovia. The performer immediately recognizes that the way the fingers fit under the fret board is unfamiliar to what they are used to, since the composers did not know the instrument. This program explores the international variety (Spain, Switzerland, England and France) as well as the differences in compositional form and style of the contemporary twentieth century works written for guitar. The existence of Antonio Jose's Sonata was not known until 1989 when Angelo Gilardino was informed of an unpublished manuscript by Jose that had been unplayed since 1933. Similar fate followed Frank Martin's "Quatre Pieces Breves," which were completely rejected by Segovia since the work did not fit his taste. Benjamin Britten's "Nocturnal" was problematic for the audiences at first due to it's intellectual complexity. However, it is now considered to be one of the greatest works produced for the instrument. Britten exploits many guitaristic effects - tremolo, pizzicato, open string pedals, etc. Although these techniques greatly expanded the guitarists' pallet of sound, they were not enough to execute the desired sonorities and textural complexity - as a result, new effects surfaced. All of these pieces put the performer's technique as well as his/hers interpretive imagination and abilities to a test. These masterworks also explore different compositional forms. The Antonio Jose Sonata is a four movement sonata form. Frank Martin's four brief pieces are modeled after baroque movements. Britten's "Nocturnal" is an unusual reverse variation form, where the whole basis of the piece - a John Dowland song "Come Heavy Sleep" - is not heard until the very end. Britten does this in order to resolve the intensity that has been built up throughout previous variations. Ohana's "Tiento" is his only piece for six string guitar. Knowing Yepes, Ohana went wild for the ten string guitar and wrote two large cycles for the instrument. "Si le jour parait"(1963) takes the title from Goya's Caprices "Si Amenece Vamos." The whole work's climax is in the middle movement Avril 20, which is a lament for an unnamed political prisoner, killed in the Spanish Civil War. It refers to ghostly figures under the night sky. Though these works were written within a short time span, they display a variety of styles. Jose was strongly influenced by impressionist composers such as Ravel and Debussy, which is clearly recognizable in his "Sonata para guitarra." The lack of Spanish nationalism in his music tragically had to do with his murder. Frank Martin was experimenting with 12 tone technique when he wrote "Quatre Pieces Breves," identifiable in the outer movements. The numbered sections in Britten's "Nocturnal" are non tonal, but follow the motivic content and structure of Dowland's song. Melancholy and the stages of sleep are the crux of the composition. It also explores the passive and the aggressive in every one of us in the climax - the Passacaglia, followed by the resolution - "Come Heavy Sleep." Ohana's "Tiento" as well as "Avril 20" are microtonal - he uses bending of the strings creating quarter-tone relations. De Falla had an impact on Ohana's works. This is recognizable in "Tiento," which takes and manipulates the habanera rhythm that Falla uses in his "Homehaje." This program connects to my career goals because I want to explore twentieth century and more recent music written for the guitar. These pieces are known by the guitar audience, but for the non-guitarist they may possibly be unfamiliar in sound and content. In my future recital programs I would like to dig into this repertoire and introduce it to the wider audience, thus going beyond their familiarity with the traditional sound of the works commissioned by Segovia.

EDITOR'S REVIEW DOWLOAD.COM Brilliantly masterful Pedro angel's fingers masterfully caress the guitar to produce an astounding array of sharp expressive tones and warm rich melodies. I was absolutely amazed with his briliant use of the guitar's harmonics and his ability to weave and build such powerful and complex rhythm and melody structures. It leads one to believe this may be what the angel peter (pedro) plays at the pearly gates. Magnýfico! ALBERT DOMINGUEZ MUSICAL WEB MASTER BERLIN Pedro Angel is now one of the young masters of the guitar...Thanks to his natural musicality and to his instinct of virtuoso, Pedro has been able to reach a great dominion of the instrumental technical ability, placed at the service of the highest ideas of the past and present music, for which, I find myself full of the most intense satisfaction. ALIRIO DIAZ INTERNATIONAL GUITAR MASTER.

Arne Willems primarily focused on music but also transposed the pieces as close as possible to the original. To maintain a sound that is similar to the lute sound he used strings, that have a higher tension and can bring a brighter sound to the beautiful pieces.
