Description

If you hear the name Carlos Paredes and you are Portuguese, the sound of the fado guitar immediately comes to mind, along with a feeling that could be described as “the sound of being Portuguese”. Being a professional classical violinist who sometimes feels confined to the boundaries this style of music imposes, I took the challenge my father suggested to me when I was a teenager and started arranging Paredes’s beautiful music for the instrument I play. It doesn’t take much expertise to understand that a violin and a guitar have very few things in common when it comes to playing them. The challenge to translate the language of the composer to another instrument, to keep his music alive, its inner message vibrating as intensely and its drive as intact as the original, keeps me busy and ever searching for creative ways to overcome the differences in timbre and character, and to express the beauty inherent to the work of this much loved Portuguese artist.
