| Asturias Albeniz Flamenco arr. Kertsopoulos guitar |
 |
Flamenco arrangement of Asturias-Leyenda by
Isaac Albeniz written and performed live in
concert by Yorgos Kertsopoulos at the Muzart
Festival, Helexpo Palace, Athens 20 April
2008.High tuned guitar strings constructed by
Yorgos give the guitar a minor third higher
pitched tuning making it possible to preserve
the original G minor key while not changing
the usual E minor fingering. In 1948
A.Segovia introduced the nylon string
aesthetic of A.Augustine. The classical and
flamenco guitar enjoys this aesthetic for
more than sixty years and J.Bream,
J.Williams, D.Fampas, the Romero family,
C.Parkening, Alirio Diaz, R.Dyens, L.Almeida,
Paco de Lucia, P.Pena, C.Montoya, Sabicas,
Serranito are only a few of the guitarists
that play with great success this aesthetic
which has worldwide acceptance today.
A.Barrios and H.V.Lobos played with metal
strings while D.Prat, A.Lauro, F.Tarrega,
R.Montoya played with gut strings. At the
time of M.Giuliani, M.Carcassi, L.Legnani,
F.Carulli, F.Sor, D.Aguado the guitar was
strung with metal, gut and silk strings and
had either double courses or single strings.
Also further back in history G.Sanz, Bermudo,
Brescianello played the guitar in higher
pitched tunings and the triple strung
guitarra battente was popular mainly in
Italy. Y.Kertsopoulos introduced in 1994 the
Kertsopoulos Aesthetics which as a multiplex
open architecture scheme provide the
possibility of reviving and realizing the
many faces of the guitar's aesthetics, as
they have been recorded in history. Among
many guitarists that play the aesthetics
Smaro Gregoriadou has made many succesful
first world presentations of different
aspects of aesthetic styles in guitar
interpretation.

| Berkley Springs (David Essig, arr. by Don Ross) |
 |
POSTED WITH PERMISSION OF DON ROSS. Recorded
at Trinity United Church in Cannington
(Ontario, Canada) on Saturday, September 15,
2001. Tuning: FACFCF
David Essig's comments on this tune:
"I wrote the piece to honour the memory of my
mother, Doris Hinkins, who came from the
small town of Berkley Springs, West Virginia.
I originally wrote it in DADGAD and recorded
it that way on the first album I issued as a
CD in 1988: Morning Calm. That's where Don
Ross first encountered it I believe. He may
have also heard me play it live, since we
used to do some gigs together back in Ontario
and at some Canadian festivals.
Don transposed the piece into F tuning which
enables him to play some interesting chord
inversions. He also added a chord to the
piece that's not in the original, but which
I've now incorporated into my version as a
tribute back to Don."
