In a fun and improvisatory conversation, Sérgio Assad, one of the world's most celebrated guitarists and composers of the last 40 years, reveals how Chopin and Ravel inspired him to compose for guitar, how his amazing family came to be the towering figures in the music world they are today, how Villa Lobos and Carlos Gomes figure into the tapestry of Brazilian art music, what a “Choro” is, and more. This episode explores music that will be performed at the Festival on July 21st “Sergio Assad and his World”, featuring Sergio's close friend and colleague, Bay Area guitarist Marc Teicholz.

New Classical Tracks - Plinio Fernandes (radio edit) by Plinio Fernandes - Bacheando (Decca)“For me, playing the guitar gives me a sense of identity, because it's something that I have been doing since I was very, very young,” guitarist Plinio Fernandes says. “I don't really remember my life that well before I was 6 or 7, which is when I started to play. Like brushing my teeth, drinking water, showering and breathing, I just have to play a couple of notes and feel like that grounds me.”Fernandes is a Brazilian guitarist who grew up surrounded by music. As his father's guitar rested on the sofa, Fernandes would pluck a few strings. Before he knew it, he was headed to London to study at the Royal Academy of Music. That's where he met his roommate, friend and musical colleague, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. Fernandes and Kanneh-Mason recently completed a tour in support of Fernandes' second recording, Bacheando.Fernandes says the album's name is just a made-up word inspired by the title of Heitor Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras and as an homage to the great German master Johannes Sebastian Bach.How does the music of Bach and the rich culture of Brazil come together on this recording?“Villa-Lobos, our greatest composer of all time, who really reshaped Brazilian culture, was massively influenced by Bach. His contemporaries were massively influenced by that connection between Villa-Lobos and Baroque music. In addition to taking the pieces that already existed, Sergio Assad was one of the arrangers and composer on the album. He wrote a piece inspired by that concept to pair with the Prelude, Fugue and Vivace.”One of your favorite pieces by Bach, the Prelude, Fugue and Allegro, is at the heart of this recording. Why is this one of your favorite pieces?“Very simply, it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. And I grew up listening to it. The three movements represent to me what perfection is.”How did the piece that Assad created for you come about?“I came to him and we were discussing the repertoire for the album and said, ‘Sergio, I would love to have you writing something specifically for that.' And then he was very keen on doing something that he first wrote, the Prelude and Fugues. It's the first fugue that he has ever written, which is quite something and a privilege to have that. And then it just kept on growing until it became this little suite of three movements.”Can you talk about what it means when you're describing colors in playing the guitar? “I was basically trying to use everything that the instrument has to offer. I think it is a very specific thing to the guitar. One can talk about the colors that you create with the piano, but with the guitar … you use both of your fingertips to produce the sound, so it's a very personal thing. Depending on the size of your fingers or the length of the nails, each person will have a very particular and unique sound.” Listen on YouTubeTo hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.ResourcesPlinio Fernandes - Bacheando (Amazon)Plinio Fernandes - Bacheando (Decca)Plinio Fernandes (official site)

Clarice Assad is a Brazilian-American composer, pianist, arranger and singer originally from Rio de Janeiro. She has recorded 7 solo albums and has appeared on dozens of additional recordings. She is also Sergio Assad’s daughter, which may well be unfairly her greatest claim to fame in the small world of classical guitar. Clarice holds a Bachelor of Music from Roosevelt University in Chicago and a master's degree in Composition from the University of Michigan. She was also a 2009 Latin Grammy nominee.[1] I caught up to Clarice this Spring at the University of Rhode Island Guitar Fest. She is unassuming and has a very “real” feel about her, a presence that I’m beginning to associate with musicians in general.

Renowned guitarists Sergio and Odair Assad and mandolinist Avi Avital perform works by Bach, Haydn, Piazzolla, and others.

While visiting Baltimore, David had a chance to catch up with one of our favorite tonebase artists, Thomas Viloteau! Over the course of the hour-long conversation, Thomas shares the details behind his new gig as professor at Peabody Conservatory and his life with the guitar leading up to his new appointment. The conversation begins on the topic of Thomas's past teachers including his time studying with lutenist Paul O'Dette who helped him create a truly unique interpretation of Bach’s masterpiece, the Chaconne, which can be heard at the end of the episode. After this, Thomas goes on to share the intricate process behind his two latest CD’s, both of which he produced. He also shares the story of how Suite Brasileira 4, which can be heard on his most recent album, was written for him after hanging out with Sergio Assad at a party and casually asking the question, “Hey, would you write me a piece?” Tune in to this conversation with Thomas to experience all this and more, and be sure to check out his many insightful lessons on tonebase!
