Nicolas Deletaille

oriental bowed guitar
I bought this album out of interest for the bowed guitar (or guitar viol or arpeggione) played by Jarek Tatarek. This instrument for which Schubert wrote his famous "arpeggione sonata" in 1824 is nowadays making a comeback, not only as a tool in classical music for performing the Schubert in its original way, but also as a way to create new music, as can be seen for example with this album.
Since the arpeggione is just like a guitar, but adapted for the use of a bow, the guitarist can record string voices with his own bowed guitar. The large range of the instrument includes cello, viola and violin, so it seems quite a good idea, isn't it?
In this album, you can hear for example a very effective use of the bowed guitar in track 3 with characteristic violin music from the Black Sea. In other places, the bowed guitar is used to play bass notes, to double the singer voice or even to sing its own melody. The typical sound of the instrument serves well the oriental character of the album.

When I first listen to the CD, my 7 years old son immediately fell in love with it and wanted to have it for himself... The music is energetic enough for a 7 years old boy. As for myself, I quickly had memorized the tunes which continued to live their lives in my head independently of the CD.
