The impressive lineup of musicians gracing the stage during this years Adelaide International Guitar Festival is in itself a masterpiece, as is the collaboration between Geoffrey Morris & Siobhan Stagg in what could pass as a mini-opera. The pair presented a delightful merging of Baroque & Classico-Romantico guitar with soprano vocals in a medley of playful and bubbly love songs.
Ana Vidovic’s playing was inspired and inspirational. There is an exceptional fluidity to her playing and she seems to get right to the core of each piece.
This concert was another double bill, with Guitarissimo presenting the first half and the Melbourne Guitar Quartet the second half. The Melbourne Guitar Quartet opened their part of the concert with one of the best known and most loved pieces in the Baroque repertoire, J. S. Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
