Guitar Fascination

Lothar Theissmann is a musician who feels at home as much with the Classical Guitar as with Flamenco,Latin Music or Jazz.His concert programme "Guitar fascination" combines these genres of music in a harmonising way, thus going way beyond the scope of traditional guitar concerts.
In the first part of the concert, the "classical" one, there will be played Music from the renaissance up to the 20th Century (Dowland, Rodrigo,etc.), or, depending on the location, a suite of Spanish and south american pieces, thus focusing more on rhythmical qualities.
The second part consists of Theissmann's own compositions as well as of a choice of arrangements for guitar and original pieces of various musical cultures. The guitar with both ist spiritual and sensual sound turns out to be the perfect medium to uncover common musical roots,creating a natural world of sound of ist own,where Latin Music has ist place as well as Moorish or Mediterranean influences.

The Programme is being "updated" frequently, and, by all means, by the choice of music of the both parts the development of the Classical Guitar is clearly pointed out – as well as the lack of significance of terms like "Classical Music" or "Folklore" nowadays: It all belongs to the History of a "World's Music".
A musical journey full of beauty and tension.
