Beiyan Liu – Concert and Discussion

ByBradford Werner
2024

Classical guitarist Beiyan Liu performs an online concert with discussion and lesson for Altamira Guitars in Beijing, China with repertoire by Tarrega, Dowland, and Coste. This comes via Altamira Guitars and their YouTube channel. Love these discussions and concerts sponsored by Altamira. Nice to hear the various artists discuss their beginnings in music. Beautifully clear musicality and sound with particularly nice motivic deliveries in the Dowland.
