Review Ylen New albums in the program
"The different characteristics of a classical guitar and a flamenco guitar are, for example, the distance of the strings from the fingerboard, the weight of the instrument, the playing style and the tone. But when the starting point is the distant lute and vihuela, compared to them, the current differences cannot be considered big. The record is a creative voyage of discovery. The musicianship refreshes the listener. To complement the familiarity, a new creative mixed technique appears, the combination of styles, the opening of closed doors. Both guitarists have their own bravura, the arrangements are unadorned, but expressive. Hopefully, Petri Kumela's flamenco guitar is just at the beginning of their journey."

  • While this recording is highly recommended for aficionados of Spanish music, it should serve as an excellent introduction to this captivating genre.

  • I have reviewed Mr Kumela twice before, in a brilliantly executed mixed program (J/F 2012) and in a performance of the works of Paavo Korpijaakko (S/O 2013).

  • ”Klassisen kitaran ja flamencokitaran toisistaan poikkeavia ominaisuuksia ovat muun muassa kielten etäisyys otelaudasta, soittimen paino, soittotyyli ja sointi.

  • ”Klassisen ja flamencokitaran yhdistelmä laajentaa espanjalaisen kitaramusiikin ilmaisuskaalaa tavalla, joka ei kummallakaan yksin olisi mahdollista. Edellinen soitin tuo mukanaan nyansiherkkyyden ja laulavuuden, ja jälkimmäinen perkussiivinen soittotekniikka korostaa rytmikästä potkua ja tanssi-imua. Aivan näin yksioikoisesti Petri Kumelan ja Jonas Wideniuksen duo ei kuitenkaan toimi, vaan kyse on molemminpuolisesta jakamisesta, soinnillisesta ja rytmisten virikkeiden pallottelusta. Kumela…
