The Best Classical Guitarist - Who Is It?
The classical guitar is looked on by fans of other styles of guitar playing as technically advanced but a little starchy. Of course, to use the guitar to faithfully interpret works written for the piano or violin does need a formidable technique. Most classical guitarist students would be looking ahead a year or two to the time they could call themselves fully fledged guitarists.
The pioneer of classical guitar is Andres Segovia. His first guitar tuition was rooted in the tradition of flamenco even though he was never really interested in flamenco as material for his guitar playing. His interest in the contemporary music of Spain and in the works of J. S. Bach helped shape the repertoire of the classical guitarists who followed in his footsteps.
John Williams was a student of Segovia's who became known to a wider musical audience through his recording of Stanley Myers' Cavatina which became known as the theme of the movie, The Deerhunter, and his work with the band, Sky. If these populist projects had not happened John Williams would still be one of the best classical guitarists because of his flawless technique and confident approach to the guitar. Always on the lookout for new musical territory, John Williams has recorded many duets with Julian Bream and flamenco guitarist, Paco Pena.
Many classical guitar enthusiasts regard Julian Bream as the best classical guitarist. Although his playing is accompanied by tortured facial expressions, the sound he makes has a profound effect on all audiences. Julian Bream has recorded just about all there is to record in the classical guitar repertoire and is also a great lute player.
No list of contenders for the title of best classical guitarist should leave out Narcisco Yepes. Although many critics found some of his interpretations cold or mechanical, nobody could deny that when he was good, he was very, very good. At the age of twenty-one, Narcisco Yepes recording of Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo was responsible for turning the unknown piece for guitar and orchestra into a popular composition. This was in spite of the fact that Yepes had only a sketchy understanding of musical notation. According to some authorities, Narcisco Yepes was also the composer of The Anonymous Romance, one of the most popular solo guitar pieces ever. This remarkable guitarist also collaborated with Jose Ramirez, the famous luthier, to produce a ten string classical guitar which he first used in a concert in the mid nineteen sixties.

Manuel Rodriguez C3 Flamenco Classical Guitar $478.49 Featuring a carefully chosen, solid Spruce top and laminated Sycamore back and sides, the Rodriguez Model C3 Flamenco is a beauty to behold and play. The headstock and fretboard made are of Indian rosewood. Nickel-plated tuners and silver-plated frets are installed to last a lifetime. The body binding and wood rosette are exquisite.Each Rodriguez Guitar is hand crafted and glued to create precise balances. From the invisible careful sanding, even inside the body, that ensures the finished instrument's purity of tone, to the beautifully unique rosette inlays around the soundhole and on the back of the neck, the flamenco guitar is a credit to its luthier and worthy of being handed down from one generation to another.The tone, resonance and beauty of fine guitars are all dependent upon the wood from which they are made. The wood used in the construction of Rodriguez guitars is carefully chosen and aged to guarantee the highest quality. No wood is purchased before the tree has been cut down, and at least 2 years must elapse before the tree is turned into lumber. The wood has to be well cut from the log. The grain must be close and absolutely vertical. The shop is totally free from humidity.The Rodriguez C3 guitar features a multi-colored wood rosette, as exquisite as the sounds that issue from it. Their intricacy and beauty signify the attention to detail that characterizes every Rodriguez guitar.For backs and sides, Rodriguez uses Brazilian Rosewood and Indian Rosewood (Jacaranda). Brazilian Rosewood has a beautiful color and design, making it ideal for an elegant concert classic guitar.For the top, Rodriguez has experimented with other Spruce woods from various parts of the world including North America, Canada, Alaska, Russia and Sweden, but the Spruce from Central Europe is unique. Red Western Cedar is obtained from Canada and the Northwest U.S. There are many different qualities and colors. As with Spruce, stiffness, grain and weight are important.For the neck, Rodriguez uses cedar from Honduras as preferred over heavy Mahogany. There are many kinds of Cedar, as the name is used on so many continents. The Honduras Cedar used is very hard and stiff, but at the same time, light. Necks are reinforced with 2 Ebony strips on the underside of the fingerboard to give total rigidity and to eliminate movement cased as a result of the aging of the classical guitar. |
