Shaun Rigney - Lapis Lazuli: Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra
Dear friends. We are happy to share with you an incredible work for guitar and orchestra.
Shaun Rigney's Lapis Lazuli: A Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra is a captivating journey through time and sound, reflecting the rich history of the guitar from its ancient origins to contemporary expressions. This piece, composed between 1985 and 1990, is a testament to Rigney's compositional prowess, blending a tonal style with historical reverence. The concerto consists of four movements: Sonata da Camera, Toccata, Adagio, and Finale, each showcasing different facets of the guitar's expressive capabilities alongside the orchestral ensemble.
Performed by virtuoso guitarist Slava Grigoryan with Orchestra Victoria under the baton of Brett Kelly, the recording captures the essence of Rigney's vision. The Adagio movement, in particular, stands out for its hauntingly beautiful melodies, where the guitar's voice intertwines seamlessly with the orchestral colors to evoke a profound sense of emotion and history.
Rigney's work here not only pays homage to the instrument's lineage but also pushes the boundaries of what a guitar concerto can be, making Lapis Lazuli a must-listen for enthusiasts of both classical guitar and orchestral music. This is a composition that deserves a wider audience for its depth, its beauty, and its innovative approach to an age-old instrument.

The orchestra is the Simfonijski Orkestar Hrt-A. I'm assuming its the Radio-Television Orchestra of Croatia.

Thanks for creating and sharing this.
The opening statements, "You have to have big hands and I was tall . . . " 1952 our elementary school orchestra needed some students to learn cello. My friend and I applied. The teacher said, "You're taller than the other kids. Why don't you learn to play the string bass?" At that age you often do what your teacher suggests. By the time I was in high school I was earning money playing for school dances. No regrets at all. Sixty seven years later my string bass is leaning in the corner and I'm smiling.
i see you every single double bass video 😂😂
@@yuvinkang5189 I'm retired and have a lot of time to spend on the internet. I don't play in groups any longer but I really enjoy all the young bass players on youtube. They play much, much better than I used to play.
