The ‘birth of a new shining star in the concert sky’ wrote the Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten after the European Guitar Quartet's concert. With their first album Danza, they have travelled to almost 20 countries, including major venues such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Kaufmann Concert Hall in New York, the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow and the Calcutta Central Hall in India, delighting experts and audiences alike. FOURTUNE is the name of the album by the four busy guitarists Zoran Dukic (Croatia), Pavel Steidl (Czech Republic), Thomas Fellow and Reentko Dirks (Germany), in which the quartet plays with facets of ‘four-tone’, ‘happiness’ and musical ‘richness’. A summit meeting of guitar music in which two legends of the classical guitar and two fingerstyle virtuosos cross boundaries and combine the concertante tradition of the instrument with the expressive, dynamic sounds of modernity. The choice of music is logical. Border crossers on one side and on the other. Musicians who stood for something completely new and unique. Innovators such as Piazzolla, Zappa or Domeniconi. This music in their own arrangements by the ‘band of individualists’, which leaves plenty of room for the freedom of each player. And their own compositions, written to fit the musicians' bodies and fingers.
‘Fourtune delivers contemporary embraces of concert music, global music and jazz. They scatted, spoke and sang overtones, and conjured up unheard-of sounds on the guitars with all kinds of accessories. And always exactly where it fits. The album ends with Harry Belafonte's ‘Turn the World Around’, which not only fits perfectly into today's world, but also has a very personal connection for one of the musicians: the title appeared in the only television programme that Reentko was allowed to watch as a child (The Muppets) and is therefore the perfect destination for a journey back to the beginnings.
The combination of two proven classical soloists and two musicians who have dedicated themselves to the modern ways of the guitar searches for the perfect intersection.
The harmony of two proven classical soloists and two musicians who have dedicated themselves to the modern ways of the guitar searches for the perfect intersection.
The choice of music is logical. Border crossers on one side and on the other. Musicians who stood for something completely new and unique. Innovators like Piazzolla or Zappa, or like Bogdanovic or Domeniconi in the world of the guitar. This music in their own arrangements by the ‘band of individualists’, which leaves plenty of room for the freedom of each player. And their own compositions, written to fit the musicians' bodies and fingers. Or as Thomas Fellow puts it: ‘Where before we were concerned with the uniformity of sound, we sought diversity. Each of us plays a different instrument or a different role, so to speak. Or even better, several at the same time...’.
