Re: Week 1: Wanderer over a Sea of Fog! @joosje Lovely playing, Joosje! I especially like number two - I find it works well at your tempo. And it’s nice to hear the low ‘D’s in number three. It’s surprising that seven string guitars are…

Re: Sounds of Bells – João Pernambuco's Sons de Carrilhoes I have a question about the version of 'Sons de Carrilhoes' that is commonly played on the classical guitar. Is this an arrangement of some 'original', if such a thing exists?…

Re: Brazilian Rhythms in Classical Guitar Repertoire! @Eric Phillips I certainly agree with your approach to repertoire choice. (Although I am willing to take on the occasional 'fast' piece, even if it takes a long time to work it up to tempo.…

Re: Week 1: A Continent Full of Music! Thanks for sharing this with us, Eric! A beautiful, melancholic piece I had never even heard of. You give the impression of having played this for years,…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @Eric Phillips His early retirement from the stage (and studio) was certainly a surprise. Maybe an injury explains it? Or maybe he just didn't enjoy it.…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @Olli Very nice, Olli. You really capture the ‘capricious’ character of the piece. (I used to play it so slowly that it sounded more like a dirge than a Capricho!) Btw,…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @Eric Phillips You're lucky! I'd love to have seen him. My parents had a couple of his recordings in their LP collection. Listening to him really cultivated my love of the guitar.

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @Eric Phillips I don't mean to offend you, Eric, but if I'm being completely honest, I would say you sound more like Parkening than Russell. Which isn't to say, of course,…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @Eric Phillips That's a nice analogy! And I agree with what you say about playing repertoire like this. I always think it's better to play an 'easy' piece well than a difficult piece badly.…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @Jack Stewart That's an amusing story, Jack. I can see why you'd be put off Milan after that. Reminds me vaguely of Alex and Beethoven in A Clockwork Orange.

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra @joosje Very nice, Joosje - lovely phrasing! I often see the composer referred to simply as Luys Milan, without the 'de'; apparently both forms are possible. As you say, he was certainly Spanish.…
