2020 – a time when travel was not easily possible – gave rise to this unusual journey in the mind, traversing the country and leading us to a variety of guitar is our guide. But it doesn”t travel alone; it joins mandolin, double bass, and accordion, inviting us to make music together in duets. The music originates from Spain, often from the pen of the famous composer and pianist Enrique Granados, who lived from 1867 to 1916 and wrote for the piano. His compositions vividly capture the atmosphere of the country. In the arrangements with guitar and partner instruments, new chapters are opened, the sounds leading us to new central work is the “”Valses Poeticos,”” which illuminate a different scene in each of it”s ten short this “”Spanish Journey,”” the guitar is not only the guiding thread of the production – a specific instrument is the protagonist: a 1955 concert guitar from the workshop of the Guitar maker Ricardo Sanchis-Carpio from accompanying musicians-Jochen Roß on mandolin, Florian Dohrmann on double bass, and Alexander Pankow on button accordion-are all longtime and cherished collaborators and fellow musicians. The electric guitar finds it”s place alongside the accordion, keeping pace with it”s volume and tonal “”Spanish Journey”” is a free-flowing exploration that began in the mind and has now become audible, with impressions of Spain, hints of jazz and classical music, and subtle emotionality.
