The internationally distinguished guitarist Jose Fernandez Bardesio plays music from North, Central, and South America, in all its great diversity of style. Its various influences from tango, folk, jazz and Afro rhythms make this music an essential part of the guitar repertoire. His arrangement of Ginastera’s Tres Danzas Argentinas is a real challenge and an expedition to the limits of the guitar; for the bitonal first and third dances, the three bass strings are retuned. Ginastera employs guitar techniques on the piano, such as the golpe, and for this reason Bardesio’s arrangement is seen as an enrichment of the literature.
