Guitarist Richard Durrant takes his inventive solo show to Crosby Ravensworth Village Hall
9:00am Friday 13th January 2012 in Music news
RICHARD Durrant’s The Number 26 Bus to Paraguay rolls into Crosby Ravensworth Village Hall on Tuesday, January 24 (7.30pm).
Richard, a classical concert guitarist who also plays with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, stars in his latest solo stage role as the great Paraguayan Agustin Barrios ‘Mangore.’ Regarded as one of the UK’s most imaginative and accomplished concert guitarists, the versatile player demonstrates just how far one man can extend the expressive range of this instrument - light years from what you might expect a classical guitar recital to be.
In the show Mangore's greatest and most popular guitar works are heard alongside those of his contemporaries and beyond. A fascinating musical tale then unfolds that weaves together Los Paraguayos, Manuel de Falla, Debussy and Django Reinhardt.
