Michael Winkler Plays Francisco Tarrega

Michael Winkler Plays Francisco Tarrega

The guitarist Michael Winkler is internationally known as a musical frontier crosser, especially through the Eos Guitar Quartet. After his debut LP, the highly acclaimed Bach album and the album midlife with original compositions, he now presents his fourth solo album with original compositions by TĆ”rrega. Francisco TĆ”rrega 1852-1909, was a Spanish guitarist and composer. He is still considered the founder of modern guitar playing and the most prominent guitarist and teacher of his era. "When I first heard TĆ”rrega's music as a young man, I was immediately in love with the melodies, harmonies and elegance of his waltzes. I played the pieces at every opportunity until they became "my" pieces. Later I discovered polyphony and forgot about TĆ”rrega's music, until finally in 2019 I dared to reinterpret it with a grasp of my eyes. I interpreted many things more slenderly and rhythmically tighter than at that time, thought phrasings larger, but also took more time. The beautiful spatial sound of the band supported my joy of playing, stimulated my creativity and fulfilled my wish to record the album in a natural acoustic.ā€
