Some time ago, I bought 3 books containing scores arranged by the Tokyo Guitar Quartet, as well as 2 of their CD recordings.Perhaps not many people in Singapore would have heard of this quartet, since we have a rather limited choice of CDs available here (even LAGQ CDs can be difficult to find at times...sigh).
But having listened to their recordings - which subsequently prompted me to purchase their scores - I have to say, they are really very good!
My personal favourites include their arrangement of Funiculi Funicula (haha.. Liang Shan absolutely hates this one, since he has an extreme finger/chords etude to do throughout the song), as well as the beautiful Moon River, which was the theme song from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
Currently, Guitaresque is working on a couple of pieces (including the 2 above-mentioned) as part of our repertoire for the Library performance and later the recital at Singapore Art Museum.
