Flamenco Master Raymond Au

We are deeply honoured to share a memorable recording session with the one and only Flamenco guitar master Raymond Au. Raymond was one of the first generation of guitarists who went to Spain to learn the skills of the flamenco guitar under the apprenticeship of Paco Pena in the 70's and 80's. In other words, he's the real deal!

Raymond has recorded all the details on his personal blog.

I like this part very much:

大緻上，我把前奏分成以下三個部份：

(一) 懷緬以往美好的回憶 (以斷續的Tremolo來形容那種曾經擁有的幸福感) ；

(二) 跌落人生的低點及罪咎感煎熬的痛苦中感覺 (一段急速的chromatic音階代表一次人生中的驚變，而Picado的拖拉像表達在為自己的犯錯來道歉)；

(三) 最後一段是透過信仰的力量重獲信心及勇於面對責任 (一段Rolling Rasgueados像徵著一個人內心堅定的力量完全表達出來) 。

Wow!
