I'm Brazilian, I'm looking for music for Russian guitar. When talking about nylon guitar, everyone remembers the Spanish school, but the Russian school, despite being so rich, is simply forgotten. In Brazil, all foreigner people stop at Bossa Nova or Villa-Lobos, but the truth is that this doesn't even represent the calling card of the infinity of the Brazilian guitar school. I was watching a documentary by Brazilian guitarist Yamandu Costa. It is very common to play 7-string guitar in southeastern Brazilian folk genres (Samba), thanks to the influence of the Russian guitar.

[@Timofeyev63]

Hello Nikolas (?), I am very glad that you like our project. I am also a fan of Brazilian music in general and Yamandu Costa in particular. But one word of caution: even though the film you mentioned suggests that there is a connection between the seven-string guitars of Brazil and Russia, I am pretty sure there is NO historical connection. The most distinctive feature of the Russian seven-string guitar is not the number of strings (7), but its CHORDAL TUNING, D G B d g b d' (re sol si re sol si re). Interestingly, historically the Russian guitar is related to the so-called guitarra portuguesa used in Portugal, but certainly NOT Brazilian 7-string guitar (which we all love and admire).

[@eliecanetti]

I was listening to this for 15 minutes before I bothered to look at the screen and realized one of the guitarists was John Schneiderman, who I went to high school with. John and the guitarist in my band together wrote a round (I think it would be a bit too grandiose to call it a fugue) that we turned into an epic prog rock song. Even then, it was obvious John was really serious about music (and a really marvelous guitarist).

"The sevenstring guitar appeared in Russia in the 1790s and experienced its Golden Age during the first half of the 19th century." This Box Set is a monument to this remarkable era." "This music follows the chronologically development of the guitar in Russia: from the very first works by the Patriarch of the Russian guitar Andrey Sichra, through the Muscovite School of Aksionov, Vysotsky and Vetrov, the St. Petersburg School with works by Morkov and others, to the Romantics Alexandrov, Zimmerman and Sarenko."

Thank you João Cantuária, now you know it! It was a great tradition in the 19th century. Towards the end of the 20th century it was pretty much forgotten. I am trying to bring it back, and this is why I recorded this 7 CDs with my colleagues.

[@michaelwild7560]

In fact, Russia was not only one of the modern guitar's homelands, where guitar was EXTREMELY popular and played by an enormous number of people, especially aristocrats, Russian guitarists introduced a number of tricks and certain know-how which has later been developed and is being used even nowadays. Even in today's Russia there is an entire musical movement called "bard songs" or "guitar poetry" like some good translators try to translate it. It's fully based on guitar and is a descendant of a romance sung and accompanied by a guitar (see "Russian romance": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_romance). . BTW, there is a painting by a Russian artist Tropinin which is called "Guitarist": ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Романс#/media/File:Tropinin_gitarist.jpg NB: Tropinin was born in 1776 and died in 1857. This means guitarists were easy to find and were part of life. Russians even created their own 7-strings guitar: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_guitar

[@michaelwild7560]

@Any Rebel Do you mean the "bard songs" (guitar poetry)?

[@Timofeyev63]

With all due respect to the Russian "bardy," Michael, I wouldn't put them in one breath with the composers whose music we put on this CD. The bards used the guitar as an accompanying instrument, and did it very skillfully. Still, the guitar standards of the century in this country are not set up by Bob Dylon or Joan Baez, don't you agree?

[@michaelwild7560]

@@Timofeyev63 Of course, I agree! But I observe a certain continuance between the Russian guitar of the late 18th - early 19th century, the Russian Romance and the "bards" of the second half of the 20th cenury, although they sound and look differently. Hard-rock's grand-father is rock'n'roll but they do sound very different.

Those of us, who grew up with Russian guitar and romances, could never forget the intimate, heart warming melodies and the sounds of 7-strunnaya. In a big city or on a rickety bench in a small village, gazing at stars- it didn’t matter. This music always brought and still bringing most intimate feelings from within. The most famous Russian songs were just always accompanied by A Russian guitar, i.e. Dark eyes- Очи чёрные, The Gate-Калитка. No wonder, so many of us feel so nostalgic!

[@Timofeyev63]

Thank you, Stone Fire & Ice, I am glad our release makes you feel nostalgic. Of course you are right about the good old songs. But there is more to it: before recording this grand collection, I spent years in Russian archives and libraries looking for this music. So, even if it *sounds* familiar, the Lion's share of it you hear for the first time.

[@mentallychallenged5764]

What is "russian" about Spanish guitar modified and popularized by Czech Andrey Sychra?

[@Timofeyev63]

@@mentallychallenged5764 I agree with you that especially now, in the face of Russia's aggression in Ukraine, we should question everything that is labeled "Russian." It is also true that the milieu in which the seven-string guitar tuned DGBdgbd' was developed in Moscow and St. Petersburg mainly consisted of Poles, Czechs, and perhaps some Ukrainians. It was simply referred to as "seven-string guitar," to distinguish it from its six-string European counterpart. But within the first 2-3 decades of the 19th century the instrument developed a vast treasury of works connected to things Russian, such as the imperial marches and anthems on the one hand, and many variations on peasant folk songs on the other. The instrument became inseparable from the culture of the Russian Empire. Well, you may ask: how Russian was the Russian Empire? Yes, we had great cases of Ukrainian composers, such as Vasil Sarenko well-represented in this collection. Contrary to what you believe, Sychra did not modify Spanish guitar, the story is more complex. He did popularize it, but this was the original repertoire created on Russian soil. Empires around the world have this tendency, to absorb other ethnicities and claim their products as their own. Whatever you call the seven-string guitar tradition that was much more visible in Russia 1800-1850 than its Western counterpart, it's not just modified same thing. It's a completely different kind of art.

[@wowwow9679]
