Synopsis

Product Description
A 'must-have' for guitar enthusiasts, Reinventing Guitar brings
a rich array of novelties from young Greek guitar virtuoso and
composer Smaro Gregoriadou. She plays music from the
Baroque to the present on three guitars differing in type, number
and material of strings, timbre and tunings, all built by
Yorgos Kertsopoulos of Kertsopoulos Aesthetics. Kertsopoulos'
instruments blend exhaustive historical and aesthetic research
with practical acoustic applications for current audiences.
Smaro's beautiful performance of the Bach Lute Suite offers the first opportunity for Kertsopoulos' unique tripledouble-
single course guitar to be heard worldwide. Her generous album notes, along with color photographs of
the instruments she plays, provide an absorbing backdrop for the program. Her own Balkan Dances, based on
folk themes and rhythms, are played on two different instruments, true to Balkan folk tradition.
Smaro's interest and skill in blending old and new has led this intriguing young artist into classical theatre as
well: she is a founder of the Echoes Theatre Company in Athens, whose first production, in 2007, was Sophocles'
Antigone in the original ancient Greek text.
