Thibault Cauvin, the guitarist on this album, began studying guitar with his father at the age of five.
Performer Biography
Thibault Cauvin is the only guitarist in the world to have won 13 international first prizes by the age of 20.
Compositional Technique
Since "great geniuses of the past" did not write for the relatively young classical guitar, performers have become masters of arrangement, adapting works originally for lute, piano, or orchestra.
Performer Biography
Thibault Cauvin's career has included an "endless tour" of over 1000 concerts, performing solo in nearly 120 countries.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The classical guitar, despite being a relatively young instrument (about 150 years old), is considered by the performer to be the "exemplary instrument of the 21st-century classical world" due to its ability to combine dynamics, polyphony, and tone colors.
Album & Artwork
The album was conceived after a Sony Music team challenged the performer to "make the finest Guitar record one could dream of listening to."
Interpretation
The album's concept aims to break down historical, geographical, and cultural boundaries by unifying diverse musical pieces through the performer's playing and vision.
