Sungmin Lee Plays Preludio by Sergio Assad

Sungmin Lee plays Preludio from Sandy’s Portrait by Sergio Assad (b.1952). This comes via his great YouTube channel. I’ve been meaning to feature Sungmin Lee for awhile and his nice performance of this Assad piece is a great time to do it. Lee has been active on YouTube since he was just a young steel-stringer and he still performs and does tutorials of popular tunes on steel string today. But around eight years ago he started posting more classical playing and now he’s a pro on both. Great performance of this nice prelude including a very heartfelt inner section. Beautiful phrasing and solid rhythmic momentum. You can find the sheet music on SMP: Sandy’s Portrait by Assad.
