Jonathan’s arrangement of Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe Op. 48 for voice and 2 guitars was performed in its entirety at the Conservatorio Universidad Mayor in Santiago Chile on November 21st 2013. Matias Carrasco (tenor), Alonso Sanchez (guitar), and Felipe Vidal F. (guitar) gave a marvelous performance which can be seen here (1st half):Performance of Masterful arrangement by Jonathan Barlow and here (second half): http://youtu.be/rG-m8BkU5dU
As a whole, the Trio produces a masterful performance filled with keen musical insight, evocative text painting, and enticing sound quality.
