Arthur Nestrovski Returns Garoto to His Own Sadness in Album

Brazilian guitarist Arthur Nestrovski's new album features two distinct interpretations of Garoto's 'Choro Triste nº 1', showcasing his nuanced approach to classical music.

Brazilian guitarist Arthur Nestrovski has recently released his fourth solo album, 'Violão Violão Vol. 2 - Choros e Valsas', which includes two interpretations of the composition 'Choro Triste nº 1' by Brazilian composer Garoto. This approach echoes the style of English guitarist Julian Bream, who famously recorded the same composition by John Dowland in different renditions to highlight the subtleties in each performance. Nestrovski's interpretations serve both as bookends of the album, with the first being more melodic and the second much gloomier and understated.

Nestrovski's meticulous treatment of melodies and harmonies demonstrates his dedication to capturing the essence of the pieces he plays. Similar to his previous works featuring celebrated Brazilian composers like Tom Jobim and Chico Buarque, Nestrovski applies a critical and thoughtful lens to Garoto's work, allowing him to unveil previously unnoticed nuances. His attention to detail not only honors the original compositions but also offers listeners an innovative perspective on familiar music.

This album is significant for its exploration of not just the technical aspects of the guitar but also the emotional depth that the pieces convey. By juxtaposing two interpretations of the same piece, Nestrovski invites listeners to reflect on the varied expressions of sadness and beauty within music. It positions him as a noteworthy figure in the contemporary music scene, particularly within the realm of Brazilian classical guitar.
