The Paraguayan Agustin Barrios Mangore, John Williams has been compared by Frédéric Chopin. He said: "His music is very guitaristic, rather like Chopin for the piano. In this way he has filled, which have of each instrument its composer, who owned the instrument, and at the same time, wrote great music."
The rather poor repertoire of classical guitar was enriched by this guitarist from humble beginnings and modest career. He has neverachieved international fame in his life. It took many years after his death that his music was rediscovered, thanks to people like John Williams, who recorded many of his compositions.
Andrés Segovia, considered the father of the modern classical guitar, always recognized the limited repertoire, which had the guitar, as they ignored by the elite of the art music as an inferior instrument, suitable only for popular music. That was his greatest achievement, to letthe world know that the guitar is an instrument capable of wonderful music. But I think he made a big mistake, he ignored the greatest composers for classical guitar of his time, Barrios Mangore, even after it twice.
If he paid the necessary attention to given to the music of Barrios, where he had played in his concerts and recorded pieces by Barrios, would play classical guitar, was much benefited. Barrios received the credit he deserves, wouldhave incredible things to collect in order to do the status of classical guitar. He had written access to the orchestras, concerts for classical guitar, contacted the world's greatest composers, and it influences the music for that instrument to write.
Barrios 'not successful' career was also on his own personality. He was not very motivated to achieve international status. It was more about giving his music to the people around him worried. All his works arespecifically dedicated to someone or something. He was the epitome of romance, always giving great importance to express. He has completely changed, even his improvised music in concert for the purposes of expression, the original.
He wandered from city to city in South America, does not match the major music centers in Europe and the United States. He loved it, with friends who appreciate his music remain. His "remains" with friend will last as long as two years.
His lastYear were spent in El Salvador, where he respects and admires. Despite this, he died in a relative poverty. After his death, he was almost completely forgotten by the world. But thanks to the efforts of some people, his work was rediscovered, as the Paraguayan Sila Godoy, who collected many of his compositions, and Richard D. Stover, a great explorer who was known to make much of his life this great artist in the world.
However, his hiding from mainstream as much timeMusic Today Barrios played on almost every classical guitarist. Some of his pieces are as peaks of the repertoire and new recordings are often made.
