Info for Piazzolla: Music for Guitar

Astor Piazzollas Einführung neuer Rhythmen und Harmonien in den Tango brachte ihm weltweiten Ruhm ein. Die Tango Suite für zwei Gitarren ist eines der schönsten Duowerke des Repertoires und bietet ein Feuerwerk an perkussiven Effekten sowie eine erlesene Melancholie. Yuri Liberzon hat das beliebte Oblivion für Gitarre arrangiert, während Leo Brouwers Bearbeitung von La muerte del ángel voller Lebendigkeit und Farbe ist. Cinco piezas war Piazzollas erstes Werk für klassische Gitarre und umfasst Bauerntänze und komplexe Cross-Rhythmen gleichermaßen; die Tango-Études, ursprünglich für Flöte, zeigen in Manuel Barruecos idiomatischem Arrangement die Bandbreite und Vielseitigkeit der Gitarre.

Der Gitarrist Yuri Liberzon hat Konstantin Vassilievs Gitarrenmusik auf 8574315 aufgenommen: „Liberzon wird für zwei Duette von dem Gitarristen Patrick O'Connell begleitet. Ihre Interpretation von Obrio erinnert an die Aufführungen von Piazzolla und Gnattali durch das Assad Duo. Ich hoffe, dass ich in Zukunft mehr von diesem Duo hören werde“ (American Record Guide).

Piotr Pakhomkin - der zusammen mit Liberzon in der Tango-Suite zu hören ist - gewann 2016 den Internationalen Respighi-Solistenwettbewerb und gab im Juni 2018 sein Debüt in der Carnegie Hall mit der „Masterwork Series“ des Chamber Orchestra of New York. Piotr Pakhomkin ist einer der hellsten Köpfe der jüngeren Generation klassischer Musiker, ein Spieler mit enormen Fähigkeiten und Sensibilität“ (Classical Guitar Magazine).

Liberzon has released three albums in collaboration with GRAMMY-winning sound engineer and producer Nahuel Bronzini: Ascension (2015), ¡Acentuado! (2017, Soundset Recordings), and J.S.

While in Israel, Liberzon studied with Yaron Hasson, and was the recipient of multiple America-Israel Cultural Foundation scholarships and grants. In 2000, Liberzon relocated to the US to study for his Bachelor of Music and Graduate Performance Diploma at the Peabody Conservatory with Manuel Barrueco, subsequently earning a Master of Music from Yale University with Benjamin Verdery, being awarded full scholarships at both institutions.
