Carsten Linck

and

Hedvig Jalhed

This concert was suppose to be performed with the singer Sara Maria Sun who unfortunately became sick so Hedvig Jalhed from Music Academy in Malmoe toke her place at the last minute. Tankyou Hedvig for a concert well done considering the short time of rehearsal.

Carsten Linck made his studies with Prof. Hans Gräf at the Folkwang Musikhochschule, Essen and with Prof. Maritta Kersting at the Robert Schumann School, Düsseldorf. At the same time he studied chamber music with Prof. Iwona Salling in Essen, where he passed his exams with distinction. Additional artistic guidance was given to him by Prof. Karl Scheit (Vienna) and Prof. Per-Olof Johnson (Malmö). Carsten Linck plays a repertoire from the early Renaissance to first performances of contemporary compositions, where he uses different instruments for works of different style epoques. Besides the common 6-string concert guitar used for works after 1900, he plays Renaissance and Baroque music on an 11-string alto guitar made by Georg Bolin. The wide pitch range of this extraordinary and rare instrument makes it suited for a well nuanced, soundful and faithful presentation of lute literature as well as for novel transcriptions of harpsichord and piano music. Based on a historically informed interpretation, Linck plays a vast number of works of the Viennese Classics and the early Romantics (a golden ages for the guitar), on reconstructions of instruments around 1800. The focus of his artistic work is chamber music with a special emphasis on song accompaniment. His repertoire consists of a wide range of original compositions from all epoques as well as sensitive and stylistically faithful transcriptions. Together with various vocalists, instrumentalists, and ensembles he has been on extensive concert tours in all major cities of Germany and Europe. More than once Carsten Linck has been a laureate of Jugend musiziert, Germany’s national award for young musicians, as well as of the first prize at the Internationaler Bubenreuther Musikwettbewerb. For his artistic work he received the culture award of the city of Essen in 1992. In addition to productions for different major radio and TV stations (including WDR, Deutschland Radio, ZDF, Radio Bremen and RIAS Berlin) he recorded a number of CDs for Orfeo International, SIGNUM, ARS Produktion and amphion records. These recordings where made in collaboration with artists such as the Folkwang Guitar Duo, Marjana Lipovsek, Sibylla Rubens, Ingeborg Danz, Prof. Scot Weir, Knut Schoch, Thomas Cooley, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, the duo tassai (together with the violinist Carsten Neumann) and the duo ascolto (together with the flutist Susanne Wohlmacher). His own compositions as well as arrangements for guitar in various chamber music settings have been published by the publishing houses Trekel (Hamburg), Zimmermann (Frankfurt) and Hubertus Nogatz (Essen).

Fabio Zanon

Fabio Zanon is recognized as one the most allembracing talents in the international guitar scene. His command of a vast repertoire that includes all the major works written for the guitar, more than 30 concertos and the championing of new works written expressly for him have set new standards of interpretation and contributed to change the perception of the guitar in the classical music scene. Fabio Zanon's investigative and learned approach has opened up many possibilities for the guitar repertoire, both as a solo and as a chamber instrument. In the past few years every season has seen him première solo and orchestral contemporary works (most recently Faria's Guitar Concerto no.2, Jan van der Roost's Concierto de Homenaje and Stephen Kenyon´s Guitar Concerto no.1), unearth forgotten masterpieces from the past as well as perform the standards of the repertoire for new audiences. Recent activity in the studio include his benchmark transcriptions of Scarlatti, Van der Roost´s Concerto with I Fiamminghi Chamber Orchestra, Tangos and Choros for flute and guitar, and the soundtracks written by Luís Bacalov for films like Les Enfants du Siècle and Woman on Top. He has also played various formations of chamber music, most frequently with the collaboration of flautist Marcelo Barboza, with whom he has recorded two CDs, singer Claudia Riccitelli and, most recently, cellist Antonio Meneses from Beaux Arts Trio. He has also produced a series of 26 programmes for Radio Cultura in Brazil, The Art of the Guitar, which has helped to create new audiences for his instrument and met unsuspected public response. His editions of early and contemporary music, Fabio Zanon Collection, are currently being published by Mel Bay.

Fabio Zanon was born in Brazil, where he had his formal music training, first with his father and later with Antonio Guedes, Henrique Pinto and Edelton Gloeden. He gave his first concert at the age of 16 and his debut as an orchestral soloist happened two years later, but he only decided to concentrate on guitar performance after completing his education at the University of São Paulo, where he also studied composition and conducting. By the age of 20 he had been a top prize winner at a few international competitions but still decided to carry on with his studies with Michael Lewin at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he also attended Julian Bream’s masterclasses and obtained a Masters degree from the University of London. He returned to the stage in 1995 with a concert at the Wigmore Hall in London.

Being very determinated and wanting to become a solo performer, he decided to begin a solo career while pursuing his studies with Olivier Chassain at the National Conservatory of Bordeaux. There he unanimously won the gold medal and the medal of honor. At 17, he was admitted, after being unanimously nominated, at the National High Music School of Paris, where he studied with Olivier Chassain. He has been also fine-tuning techniques with Alvaro Pierri and Judicael Perroy and has attended the master classes of Aniello Desiderio, Eduardo Isaac, Roberto Aussel, Pavel Steidl, Alex Garrobé, Thomas Muller-Perring ... Thibault Cauvin has began also the inevitable international concourse circuit, motivated by a captivating world. He has to his credit, at just 20, the unique achievement of winning 13 international first prizes, including the prestigious “Stotsenberg International Guitar Competition” in Los Angeles (USA), “Concurso Internazionale di Chitarra di Mottola” (Italy), “Forum Gitarre Wien” (Austria), ” Concurso Internacional de Guitarra Clàssica Sernancelhe” (Portugal), “San Francisco International Classical Guitar Competition” (USA). Thibault Cauvin has played with the orchestra of the National Conservatory of Bordeaux, and toured with the orchestra of Benard Thomas, in Portugal, in the Antilles and in France. In 2003, he received “The prize of the Arts” from the Rotary Club of Bordeaux. After his 1st prize at the “International Alexandre Lagoya Guitar Concourse”, he has been awarded the “Prize of Dominica Island” after a concert on Dominique Island that had been broadcasted by different radio stations in the USA and in France where a CD was recorded for the Declic collection by Radio France. Thibault Cauvin has already performed numerous concerts at prestigious festivals and theatres in Europe (Radio France, Paris ; Royal Festival Hall, London ; Andrès Segovia Festival, Madrid ; Bonner Meisterkonzert, Bonn ), USA, Canada, Turkey (International Festival of Ankara), Maroc (Festival des cordes pincées, Rabat). “This exceptionally talented guitarist, is one of the most gifted of his generation. Thibault Cauvin, reinterpreting works, breathing new life into them, constantly reevaluating his contributions, has a sharp sense of originality and a natural expressivity. He is an universal guitarist, certainly one of the most eclectic and unconfined yet, possessing an undeniable richness of imagination. He makes the most of the quality and beauty of the instrument, with, first and foremost, a passion that, stirred up by the bursting energy of his youth, irresistibly fascinates.Although being almost unconscious of it, Thibault Cauvin is deeply impregnated by music. He had always been brought up with it from the cradle. All sorts of music, whitout any discrimation ! Without saying so, this is how he would like to be perceived when he plays, and it is this which probably explains his internationally increasing audience, concert after concert”.

Before the main concert with Thibault Cauvin we heard Trio MaLaDa from Hörby.
