Smaro Gregoriadou
Reinventing Guitar is “… a guitar edition that changes the flow of the history of the instrument.” Thus did Jazz & Tzaz describe Smaro Gregoriadou’s pioneering first album for Delos. She now continues her groundbreaking mission in Reinventing Guitar II.
Smaro’s extensive research has revealed significant differences between the modern classical guitar and those of the Renaissance and Baroque periods – encompassing instrumental design and construction, string materials used, number of string courses, wide-ranging tuning schemes, etc. Such extensive variants make for a broad array of tonal qualities and colors as well as different technical and interpretive approaches.
- Featuring world premiere recordings of classical standards as you’ve never heard them before
- Extensive, highly detailed notes, charts, illustrations and reference materials including a reference track (track 15) featuring an analytical presentation of all tunings
- A fascinating foray into the history of instrumental design, interpretation and sound that will excite any serious guitar aficionado or general classical fan
