An Idea / Various - An Idea [CD]

There is a unique power to the way Kristina VÃ¥rlid (24) is making music. On this album is an abundance of music for guitar from the past 100 years - leaving you wanting for more. Supported by outstanding technique and strong musical instincts, Kristina's debut recording is a treat. Really fascinated by the big variety of sound you can produce with the guitar, Kristina likes to explore and go beyond it's limitations in dynamic, sustain and colors. As a musician she looks at music thinking everything is possible, discovering new ideas with a creative approach to her repertoire and make it her own. The album is recorded in the lovely acoustics of Utstein monastery, just outside Kristina's home town Stavanger. Kristina VÃ¥rlid (b. 1994) from Stavanger, Norway, is already an internationally acclaimed classical guitarist after winning several competitions and awards.
