DVD - DAVID LEISNER: CLASSICS & DISCOVERIES
by David Leisner
Photo
Renowned classical guitarist Leisner plays a live concert program. Some pieces are well-known. One of the discoveries is the "Sonata in b minor" by Wenzeslaus Matiegka, an unduly neglected composer that Leisner calls the Beethoven of the guitar. Another discovery is Leisner's own ""Nel Mezzo: Sonata." The music of Johann Kaspar Mertz was virtually unknown when Leisner recorded and published his music almost 30 years ago. Here, two of Mertzs pieces display the passionate Romanticism of this music. The classics include the sublime "Prelude, Fugue and Allegro" by J. S. Bach, two delightful Rags by Scott Joplin in Leisner's arrangements, and a dazzling encore of "Etude No. 12" by Villa-Lobos. Leisner is interviewed during intermission. He covers a number of topics in depth, including secrets about easing physical tensions while playing the guitar, his thoughts about the music he's playing, and composition. 92 min.
