Product Information
Štepán Rak's
Balalaika
is an original virtuoso guitar solo based on a medley of Russian folk tunes employing some of Rak’s innovative right-hand techniques. Dedicated to Mikhail Gorbachiov. As recorded by the composer on Nimbus Records NI 5239. Here are some reviews which appeared in the press shortly after it’s publication in 1994:
“Rak is a guitar “name” these days and one finds in his compositions a fusion of so many elements . . . that bold, direct
Gitano
style, unchanged for centuries . . . Guitaristic to the extreme, musical and so individual, powerful and yet sentimental and he (like so few these days) is not afraid to write a real melody, a tune to hum or recall and really want to play. He does it time and again . . . the work is based on a Russian folk song. That ability of Rak’s to perfectly mimic one sound-style is demonstrated from the first note to last and we have not just one theme but two or three attached end to end making a very lowing work . . . if you are looking for a virtuoso piece in a Russian style, look no further . . . Recommended.” Neil Smith,
Classical Guitar.
