Greek virtuoso guitarist Smaro Gregoriadou is a multi-award winning artist who travels across Europe and North America teaching and performing solo works. On this recording, she performs renditions of modern and contemporary pieces for guitar.; Gregoriadou strives to “reinvent guitar.” Meaning, her goal is to, “provide historically informed, well-substantiated, compatible guitar interpretations of Renaissance and baroque music that at the same time can be fresh, alive and convincing; and to offer a new reading for new repertoire, suitable for modern audiences and venues.” (Gregoriadou); The final work on this recording is an original composition by Gregoriadou, which was a response to a commission by the Staatliche Hochschule fur Musik Trossingen.
