Guitarist brings music of Brazil By Ari Schneider To fit the hot Brazilian-like weather that Ann Arbor has felt re- cently, tomorrow night the Ann Ar- bor Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Carl Daehler, will feature Brazilian music played by Brazilian guitarist Carlos Barbosa-Lima. The concert will feature pieces by Brazilian composers Antonio Carlos Jobim and Laurindo Almeido, as well as works Handel, Haydn, Whettam, Debussy, and Ravel. Barbosa-Lima, one of the world's leading classical guitarists, will highlight his appearance with pre- miere performances of a new ar- rangement for guitar and orchestra by Jobim, Saudade do Brazil (Jobim is considered the originator of the "bossa nova" sound) and a piece by Brazilian guitarist Almeido called Choro e Batuque. Besides premiering new pieces, Barbosa-Lima will showcase his ex- traordinary guitar virtuosity for the first time to an Ann Arbor audience. He started developing his guitar skills when he was six years old at the encouragement of his father. By the time he was nine he started tak- ing private lessons with Brazilian guitarist Isaias Savio. He was the first important teacher to bring seri- ous study of the guitar to Brazil. Barbosa-Lima's wide range of in- fluences originated with Savio. He exposed Barbosa-Lima to other mu- sicians and composers in order to give him the basic foundations of harmony, interpretation and counter- point. These important elements al- lowed him to understand and perform other forms of music like jazz and blues. After three years of studying, in 1956, the 12-year-old Barbosa-Lima made his concert debut. He then went on to win top prizes international competitions guitar competitions and made his first United States tour at the age of 23. Eventually Barbosa- Lima studied with the legendary classical guitarist Andre Segovia. Barbosa-Lima's broad musical training lends an eclectic taste to his musical repertoire. In an 1982 inter- view with Pittsburgh Press, he said, "I don't like to limit myself. I like to explore." He plays baroque and classical composers such as Bach and Scarlatti, 20th century composers such as Ginastera and Mignone, popular composers like Gershwin and Sondheim, and original pieces. He has transcribed for the guitar about 20 Scarlatti pieces and 15 by Bach as well as pieces by composers ranging from Debussy to Jobim, Gershwin to Cole Porter. In the in- terview, he commented, "Some of them sound better on the guitar than on the original instruments." Be- cause the guitar has an intimate and expressive which makes the instru- ment a powerful one, he said, "It's like an orchestra in itself with a great range of sonority and colors - if it's properly managed. While Barbosa-Lima feels that the guitar is gaining popularity, he tries to promote the guitar as a "respected concert instrument and as a good medium for expression. And I'd like to expand guitar literature, encourag- ing top composers to write for the guitar and doing my own ar- rangements and transcriptions." Just as Barbosa-Lima has adapted his guitar skills to different types of music, this concert promises to in- troduce Ann Arbor to great Brazil- ian music to go along with the trop- ical weather.
