O compositor e contrabaixista Barry Guy, um dos mais virtuosos na história deste instrumento, apresenta-se a solo no Porto, num concerto exclusivo em Portugal, integrado no 1º aniversário do Solilóquios (16-18 Fev, Porto). www.soliloquios.org "Um dos nomes fundamentais da música improvisada europeia" Público "Remarkably magnanimous. And despite being a virtuoso, his playing avoids egotism (...) seems to be one of the most convincing figures in a long line of contemporary innovators whose discoveries possess everlasting value." All about jazz "Guy impresses yet again as one of the best bassists of his generation." Melody Maker "Guy is, of course, nothing short of a phenomenon, what with his, in the best sense of the word, sagacious blend of passion, all manner of technique, lightning fast response time and multitude of stylistic inferences." Cadence "When certain musicians have been central to your musical landscape for two thirds of your life, when innumerable words have been written about them by some of the most distinguished commentators, when their command of instrumental technique and improvisational inventiveness is beyond all reasonable question, and when you have enthused about them on numerous occasions, what is there left to say? What you said in the first place: listen." The Wire "All his music, like his double bass playing, has a certain style and exuberance: of virtuosity taken to its limits, of sheer guts and fun." Financial Times "Bassist and composer Barry Guy is a force of nature. Always on the edge of anarchy, at his best he can pack chaos into concrete structures to make exquisite music. His hugely demanding Concerto for Orchestra Fallingwater reveals both his wildness and his ability to master it." The Times "Barry Guy practically stole the whole week single-handed with the brilliant entertainment of his solo double-bass recital, a superbly packaged selection of virtuoso and theatrical" Classical Music -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sexta, 16 Fev, 21h30 Barry Guy, contrabaixo 15 euros Solilóquios - Rua das Carmelitas, 100, 3e Reservas: 916339914, sobreoporto@gmail.com www.soliloquios.org
