Carlos Barbosa-Lima Friday, October 9, 2009, at 8:00 PM
The extraordinarily gifted Brazilian guitarist Carlos Barbosa-Lima has toured the world for over four decades, bringing audiences a remarkable blend of music ranging from Scarlatti and Debussy to Gershwin, Jobim, and Brubeck. Guest artist Larry Del Casale will join Mr. Barbosa-Lima for two duet selections.
“To all of them [Gershwin, Jobim, Bach, and Albeniz], Mr. Barbosa-Lima brings an ear attuned=2 0to counterpoint and technique that gives each independent line its own voice. His transcriptions find and define every moving part, in bossa novas as well as Baroque music. And when he plays chords, melodies and countermelodies together, as he does in Gershwin, he sounds like a team of guitarists.” – The New York Times
