Smaro Gregoriadou: reinventing guitar! is the title of Smaro's new cd work released by DELOS INTERNATIONAL in July 2009, which also includes her composition: Balkan Dances for solo guitar. SMARO GREGORIADOU interprets Baroque, Romantic and Contemporary music on three guitars different in type, number and material of strings, timbre and tunings (recording premieres). They feature Kertsopoulos Æsthetics (guitars, strings, acoustic applications of evolved specifications), a thorough research on history and aesthetics of guitar involving numerous suggestions on interpretation of old and new guitar repertoire, accomplished by Greek guitarist and guitar-maker Yorgos Kertsopoulos. • Participating in the effort to revive the aesthetic experience of different historical forms of guitar, Smaro Gregoriadou projects on an international scale the need for a re-definition of the instruments sound and technique. This yields an interpretive perspective that stands as the nucleus of her art: reinventing guitar! • Instruments of the cd include: • 1.Triple-double-single course guitar (right-hand pedal) in re-entrant tuning - first world recording • 2.Single-stringed guitar in ordinary or low tunings with right-hand pedal • 3.Single-stringed high-tuned guitar with right-hand/movable back pedals and scalloped fingerboard, with which this Balkan Dance is herewith played. • HISTORIC EVIDENCE: In 1948 Andres Segovia introduced the nylon string aesthetic of A.Augustine. The classical and flamenco guitar enjoys this aesthetic for more than sixty years and guitarists of such a worldwide prestige such as Julian Bream, John Williams, Alirio Diaz, Abel Carlevaro, Dimitri Fampas, Gerasimos Miliaresis, the Romero family, C.Parkening, A.Lagoya, I.Presti, L.Almeida, Evangelos Liza, C.Kotsiolis, Roberto Aussel, R.Dyens, Paul Galbraith, Paco de Lucia, P.Pena, C.Montoya, Sabicas, Serranito (just to mention a few of these astonishing performers), play with great success the Segovia-Augustine aesthetic which has total acceptance today. Now, A.Barrios and H.Villa-Lobos played with metal strings while D.Prat, A.Lauro, F.Tarrega, R.Montoya played with gut strings. At the time of M.Giuliani, M.Carcassi, L.Legnani, F.Carulli, F.Sor, D.Aguado the guitar was strung with metal, gut and silk strings and had either double courses or single strings. Also further back in history G.Sanz, Bermudo, Brescianello played the guitar in higher pitched tunings and the triple strung guitarra battente was popular mainly in Italy. Y.Kertsopoulos introduced in 1994 the Kertsopoulos Aesthetics which as a multiplex open architecture scheme provide the possibility of reviving and realizing the many aspects of guitar's aesthetics, as they have been recorded in history. Among many guitarists that play the aesthetics today, Smaro Gregoriadou has made many succesful first world presentations of different aspects of aesthetic styles in guitar interpretation. • • For more info. on S.Gregoriadou please view: • / sgregoriadou • http://www.smarogregoriadou.com/ • • For more info. on Kertsopoulos Aesthetics please view: http://kertsopoulosaesthetics.blogspo...
