Guitar Man with Sean Shibe

Vivaldi’s popular Double Concerto in A minor is one of his exciting and sunniest of works. Dave Fennessy’s sensory Rosewood brims with nostalgia reminding the composer of his bond with his guitar.Dvořák’s Two Waltzes are original, wistful, and boisterous from his set of eight.  

 The amazing guitarist Sean Shibe performs Vivaldi’s popular Concerto in D major transcribed for guitar followed by Malcolm Arnold’s incredibly beautiful Serenade for Guitar and Strings.  Here the guitar plays over ICO’s muted strings, alternating the dreamy theme with vibrant passages. Finally, Elgar’s masterpiece Introduction and Allegro is exhilarating, reminiscent of a multi-layered symphonic poem for string orchestra as showcased by ICO.
