Andrew York is quite the resource. I've been working on quite a few of his pieces lately.

Artists like that are usually on the road all the time, concertizing. But a lot of them must still be holed up.
His music is really captivating. And deep. From the first note to the last, a journey. It's been a real joy learning this stuff. I should have looked into his music much earlier.
He's also a mad scientist of sorts.  He's published on his site a number of mathematical and physics papers. Quite an interesting individual. And of course, a world class player.
Ditto that. And a great sense of humor. He has some really fascinating master classes on YouTube.
Thanks for posting your insights. Glad you are enjoying the ride! |
I couldn't agree more re Andrew York - I have however just avoided being tempted into trying one of his pieces as there are so many "right of passage" type pieces that I feel I want to (and should learn first) like simpler Tarrega and things like Sor's study in Bm.
So I am saving them..
