Watch Ricardo Gallen Record Bach
Stumbled upon a great video yesterday of Norbert Kraft, the producer (and guitarist) behind the Naxos guitar recordings, and Ricardo Gallen in Toronto recording a new Bach CD. Gallen also has a Guitar Recital CD out.
The video was done by a Toronto film company, Wandering Eye Productions. Most of the sound was recorded right through the Naxos recording gear. Worth a Listen!

Ah Norbert Kraft… what a lucky guy.
He’s recorded the likes of Ricardo Gallén and Zoran Dukić.
What’s interesting about this video, is that I thought that Ricardo reacted somewhat unnaturally to Norbert’s suggestions… sortof “yes yes I know what you mean”.
And Kraft’s suggestions seem to me to be somewhat lacking in depth… simply calling things out of his little recording room…
Oh well… it’s a Naxos recording, so we’re documenting the classical guitar 2011.

There’s some good playing of Zoran Dukić here:

Very good! 🙂
Let’s really hope he improves in his interpretations of Bogdanović’s Balkan Miniatures.
He’s planning a music with balkan music, but if he doesn’t watch out, it might end up being “just another guitar CD”, which would be a pitty.

Regarding Bach… there are some great performances of Bach’s Chaconne… from which one can learn a thing or two:
