"Mel Bay presents David Leisner: Classics & Discoveries" Overview


Internationally renowned classical guitarist David Leisner plays a live concert program with some pieces that are well-known and others that may be new to guitarists. One of the discoveries is the Sonata in b minor by Wenzeslaus Matiegka (1773-1830), an unduly neglected composer that Leisner calls "the Beethoven of the guitar". It s a great addition to the guitar repertoire. Another discovery is Leisner s own Nel Mezzo: Sonata, which Soundboard magazine called "an original and profoundly personal work...powerful, angry and moving music". Now played quite a bit, the music of Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856) was virtually unknown when Leisner recorded and published some of his music almost 30 years ago. Here, two of Mertz s pieces display the passionate Romanticism of this music. The classics include the sublime Prelude, Fugue and Allegro by J. S. Bach, two delightful Rags by Scott Joplin in Leisner s arrangements, and a dazzling encore of Etude No. 12 by Villa-Lobos. Leisner introduces each piece informally and is interviewed during intermission by Andrew Dickenson. The interview covers a number of topics in depth, including some of Leisner s secrets about easing physical tensions while playing the guitar, and his thoughts about the music he s playing and about composition
