Vladimir Gapontsev Plays Legnani

ByBradford Werner
2015

I was watching this thinking, good, good, but then at around 1m40s I was hit but some intense virtuosity. Maybe not the cleanest ever but super effective and fantastic contrasts. Perfect for Legnani. Plus, it’s super exciting to see how much risk this player takes. Vladimir Gapontsev Plays Legnani Fantasia, Op. 19 on a 1961 Edgar Monch guitar.
