March 20th is the UN International Day of Happines

March 20th is the UN International Day of Happiness. Just watched a beautiful video by Rupert Spira „The Happiness We Seek Is The Happiness We Are“. What a beautiful message!❤️ @rupertspira
Happiness is our natural state of being, we don’t need nothing to be happy, but we need something to be unhappy.
Don’t seek happiness, just be🙏🏻❤️

„Jerzy Chwastyk dedicates himself to the Spanish guitar classics with heartfelt gentleness and devotion.
He is a poet. And here you can hear it again, the wonderful softness, intimate precision, the silver pearly soft playing of the Polish guitarist Jerzy Chwastyk“.
Thank you so much Crescendo Magazine and Stefan Sell for this beautiful words🙏🏻🙏🏻
Vielen lieben Dank Crescendo Magazin und Stefan Sell für diese wundervolle Worte🙏🏻🙏🏻

„Jerzy Chwastyk dedicates himself to the Spanish guitar classics with heartfelt gentleness and devotion.
He is a poet. And here you can hear it again, the wonderful softness, intimate precision, the silver pearly soft playing of the Polish guitarist Jerzy Chwastyk, which we know from the Schubert / Mertz interpretation from his debut “La Joia”. The only surprising thing is to meet all of this again on his new album “Sketches of Spain”.
Chwastyk masters this purely Spanish repertoire, which belongs to the canon of the classical concert guitar, with precisely this sensitive playing that defines his Schubert / Mertz sound. Prominent among them are Isaac Albéniz ’Asturias and Francisco Tárregas Recuerdos de la Alhambra, the guitar hits par excellence, which have just been heard again on the CDs of Miloš and Pablo Sáinz-Villegas. Only Chwastyk remains true to his romantic sensitivity, and that is exactly what characterizes his interpretation. Llobet’s Cançons populars catalanes and Albéniz’s Suite española can be rediscovered again played brilliantly, with great breath and with full devotion.“

Feliz Día de Andalucía!🥳 A land of medieval

Feliz Día de Andalucía!🥳
A land of medieval castles, gold, pink and purple sunsets, towers full of Mudéjar grace, breathtaking seascapes, olive trees...but Andalucia is not only this - for me represents a region where great artists such as Picasso, Velázquez, de Falla, Turina, Lorca, Segovia or Paco de Lucia were born. A passionate Andalucia of Flamenco dance and a poetic homeland of Lorca ...
We shot this video in Segovia Old House "Los Olivos" in La Herradura (many thanks to Dr. Anthony Morton for allowing us 🙏).
"Sevilla" (by I. Albeniz), with its first part referring to the sevillanas – a type of dance from Sevilla, and the second (coming here as a first part), more lyrical, evoking flamenco-like singing (Sevilla is one of the main centres of flamenco).

This week is a week of anniversaries 😉 Miguel L

This week is a week of anniversaries 😉 Miguel Llobet was considered as a great poet of the guitar. One of his own most beautiful compositions, Romanza, represents an early period of his composing style, clearly inspired by Chopin and his mazurkas and valses. Even the (unusual for the guitar) tonality of this piece – C minor – reminds listeners of the Chopin miniatures with their romantic, nostalgic character...we shot this in one of the most inspiring places I've been playing - in Cerro Gordo in Costa del Sol, Andalucia, Spain...quite poetic setting also, don't you think?😉

Paying tribute to one of the most influential arti

Paying tribute to one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Andres Segovia (born on this day, 128 years ago)...he was not just a guitarist but a true artist, musician, a painter who could beautifully capture the most colorful landscapes using just six strings of his guitar.
My last album was also an homage to his legend and in this short moments of the trailer, wich we shot in Andalucia last summer you can see/hear why he was so influential for me (and many others)...

On a bright summer morning I go walking in the g

On a bright summer morning I go walking in the garden. The flowers are whispering and speaking, But I walk on in silence.
The flowers are whispering and speaking, and look up at me in sympathy: "Do not be angry with our sister, you sad, pale man."
Heinrich Heine (1797-17 Feb, 1856)

I am having such an inspiring time working on Schumann’s and Heine’s Dichterliebe…I am normally not a big fan of analyzing a music masterpieces or any art in general, but sometimes knowing some background helps a lot…like in this masterpiece, where love is presented in almost any possible forms and accompanying emotions or state of beings - Happiness but also longing, despair, pain and melancholy…
In this song the poet walks in the garden trying to find the silence, but the flowers who understand his grief keep trying to speak to him and console him…this final section sounds indeed like a consolation.
In Dichterliebe Schumann pictures also his 2- years struggle and distress when he fought on the court for the permission (!) to marry his future wife, Clara Schumann over the objection of her father…an expression of a (romantic) love, don’t you think?😉😂

Sending much love to you!❤️
Every day (and not only 14th February) is a good day to celebrate love - is like a true recognition of our natural state of being, „love is another name of consciousness” or “absence of a person” (R. Spira) in meaning of an egoless love...
Let’s celebrate with this beautiful Serenade - rendition to one of my most favorite places filled with romanticism - “Granada” by I. Albeniz. I love this piece because it reminds me of Chopin‘s music, which is so close to me...🥰
We shot this video last summer, no words can describe the beauty and richness of the colorful-gypsy-romantic Granada but maybe the closest ones are found in works by F. G. Lorca (from “Impresiones y Paisajes”):

“At these crossroads lives an Albaizín frightened and fantastical, that of barking dogs and grieving guitars, that of dark nights among streets of white walls, a tragic superstitious Albaizín, of witches, fortune-tellers and necromancers, of strange gipsy rites, of cabalistic signs and amulets, of souls in pain, of pregnant women, an Albaizín of aged prostitutes who know the evil eye, of seducers, and bloody curses, a passionate Albaizín...
There are other corners of these antiquities, in which a purely Grenadine romantic spirit seems to revive...the deeply lyrical Albaizín...Silent grassy streets of houses with beautiful facades, with white minarets on which gleam the green and grey breasts of characteristic decoration, with admirable gardens filled with colour and sound.”

Remembering the Spanish composer Fernando Sor on his birth anniversary (13/02/1778)...the recording is not that old as it seems😂 - the quality is not the best (recorded with the phone) but I still love that waltz-like moment of the Malbrough Variations, maybe the closest music to Mozart written for classical guitar (for me at least)...it’s a live recording from Luis Sigall competition in Chile (so nice memories🥰) while I was still a tough competitor 😂😉

So happy and grateful to receive this 5 stars revi

So happy and grateful to receive this 5 stars review from the German Magazine "guitar acoustic"!🙏🤗
For those who don't understand German, below my translation:

"At first glance, one suspects that Jerzy Chwastyk has “round up the usual suspects” (German saying): Tarregas Recuerdos de la Alhambra or Asturias of Albeniz can now be found really on every Best of Spain compilation. However, the Canciones Populares from Miguel Llobet have been rarely heard more sensitively, more beautifully, or even more intimately. Also, the well-known Suite Española by Albéniz interprets Chwastyk with a lyrical and elegant note, so to speak as if the Catalan composer had been a successor of Chopin.
Five stars!"

Vielen lieben Dank an Jens Müller für die wunderschöne Worte🙏

Good morning friends! How are you feeling today?
I’m starting my day with music of my beloved Bach and some inspiring poetry of Rumi.
Without a reason...no need for purpose...because as Rumi says: „no more satisfying work than work without purpose“😉
Have a nice week!
