Chris Dumigan Reviews “Greek Guitar Music” published by Les Productions D\u2019Oz.<\/em>

\n\"greek-guitar-music\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is fair to say that in the guitar world, Greek guitar music is not as well-known as many other areas; why, I\u2019m not really sure, but this large volume hopes to change that.<\/p>\n

None of these composers were known to me, so it was with a clean slate that I opened onto the first page and the music of Minas Bogris (born 1970). His two works are tonal, with enough slight quirks about them that they keep your interest. The opening \u201cNocturne\u201d has some lovely internal harmonies that are just that little bit different, and the \u201cWaltz\u201d that follows is an allegro con brio in A minor that has plenty of swing and bite in its notes that on occasions remind you of a less acerbic Usher Waltz<\/em>.<\/p>\n
