CON GUITARRA










"A Fine Festival...a Jewel"
(LVZ)

UPCOMING ALBUM

On his new album «Bunch of Strings» (Label Florentyn Music - Release May 17, 2024), Sef Albertz expands the spectrum of the guitar, not only in terms of sound, but also in terms of repertoire.

 "It sounds absolutely wonderful. Congratulations to the arrangements
and to your beautiful playing!".
(Göran Söllscher: Swedish guitarist, Prof. Malmö Academy of Music - Lund University,
Deutsche Grammophon Artist)

The starting point of this Trilogy Con Guitarra! by the Venezuelan-German composer and guitarist is his three-movement Suite for Solo Guitar «...alla Bach!» (in the style of Bach): a conscious search for the musical presence of the great Thomaskantor (Church Cantor of St. Thomas) from Leipzig.
Then, with compositional reinterpretations - unprecedented in the repertoire of the instrument - Albertz constructs a chamber music dialogue of the guitar with itself and, subsequently, with the string instruments, based on two milestones of music of all times: Robert Schumann’s «Kinderszenen» (Children’s Scenes), reimagined for Guitar Quartet, and Felix Mendelssohn’s «Lieder ohne Worte» (Songs without Words), reimagined for Guitar and Strings.

Albertz's all music scores of his new album are published by the renowned Vienna-based Universal Edition and can now be ordered HERE.
