Marcus Tardelli Guitar Concert in DenverDate: 03/25/2010 - 00:00 Location: USA: Denver CO Work Performed: Works for Guitar The Newman Center for Performing Arts at the University of Denver Marcus Tardelli Brazil is "the nation of the guitar," and Marcus Tardelli has risen quickly to be one of its greatest stars. Composer and guitarist Guinga, one of the greatest names in Brazilian music, was one of the first to recognize his genius, saying: "It is like Rubinstein at the piano. There are certain musicians who are beyond mere technical judgment, who have a relationship with the unfathomable. God touched the heart of this boy." A revolutionary in his playing technique, Tardelli has developed an orchestral approach to his instrument. "I started out self-taught," he says, "playing everything by ear, and I always heard more recordings of orchestras than of guitar. To reproduce the sounds I heard, my hands began to develop a form uncommon in the traditional technique for the instrument." Marcus gave his debut U.S. performance at the Spoleto Festival USA in June 2006, and returns to the U.S. for the first time since then with his performance at the Newman Center. The program he has designed for the Newman Center, reflective of his unique approach to playing, includes works by Alexander Scriabin, Guinga, Villa Lobos, Baden Powell, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Claude Debussy. "Marcus Tardelli is the greatest acoustic guitar player that Brazil produced in history and technically revolutionary with the acoustic guitar." Guinga (Brazilian composer and guitarist) Key 1
