Cantabile
en Cuerdas Releases CD with Kulp songs.
The guitar-and-voice duo Cantabile
en
Cuerdas of Buenos Aires, Argentina, has released a CD
that includes my song cycle Canciones
para niños (all nine songs!
Thanks!). The duo
is Rosana Risé (soprano)
and Sergio Moldavsky (guitar). See cover image
below.
Rosana's voice is probably better suited for these songs than any other
I've heard. The recording is superb. To hear
samples, visit
the Canciones
page.
Kulp
at
GFA
I gave a presentation on my works for voice and guitar at this year's
Guitar Foundation of America convention, along with tenor-guitarist
Matthew Hinsley, who performed some of my songs live for me
(thanks!). I was also a judge in the qualifying round of the
GFA
competition, something that was a bit tiring but also a
really
good experience. It was a great time seeing a lot of old
friends
from the guitar world: Rusty Jones, Tony Lanman, Matt Hinsley, Andrew
Zohn, Randall Avers and more. Here's a photo from lunch at
The
Feve (great place!) on the final day in Oberlin.
L-R: David Brown, Matthew
Hinsley,
Jonathan Kulp, Randall Avers, Anthony Joseph Lanman, Rusty Jones.
