Pure acoustic guitar

Rolf Beydemüller

Ankunft (Arrival)

"He lets sounds breathe and so regains scope for the true essence of music..."

KLASSIKheute 7/01: “Rolf Beydemüller closes his eyes, listens inside, and relies on the singular sounds that develop out of silence into the modal and microtonal sound realities of the guitar – always with a spiritual aura, but without New-Age kitsch. The earnestness, sensitivity and openness of Beydemüller gives the CD an intense, very personal dramaturgy in which each phase seems correct due to its direct renunciation of pathos, etiquette, even art in the sense of fashioning something just so. Beydemüller doesn't present or display “works”; he lets sounds breathe and so regains scope for the true essence of music.”

Akustik Gitarre 3/02: “... Beydemüller relies [...] thoroughly on his highly trained technique in which he lets his guitar sound with an unusually round and warm fullness. His right-hand touch, in conjunction with the excellent recording technique of this CD, produces a full, sonorous impression on the ear. [...] Most remarkable are his excellent, highly musical, extemporaneous ideas – along with his well-considered interpretation – that are cultivated into a cohesive, unified concept. Impressive!” Gregor Hilden, Chief Editor
