Ricardo Gallén solo recital A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Spaniard Ricardo Gallén is one of today’s most highly sought-after classical guitarists. He began his studies in Spain, then continued them in Salzburg and Munich. Currently he is a professor at the University of Music Franz Liszt in Weimar. He has carried gold home from five international competitions, while his recordings have not only won praise from music critics but they also feature high up on classical record sales lists. He has worked with Leo Brouwer on several occasions, and he now selects from the astoundingly rich oeuvre of the artist for his performance at the second recital of the Leo Brouwer Guitar Festival, in the presence of the composer himself. This is not the first time that Brouwer has been to Hungary: he has made several appearances at the Esztergom Guitar Festival founded by László Szendrey-Karper and he composed a work for the Bakfark Bálint Guitar Ensemble. The appearance in Budapest of the elderly master instrumentalist is occasion for rejoicing not only on the part of Hungary’s guitar fraternity but Hungarian music life as a whole.
