Classical guitar is new to iVideosongs, with two new songs from guitarist Sharon Isbin this week. Sharon is well known to aficionados of classical music, having performed with some of the world's top symphonies and chamber music groups, including the New York Philharmonic and the London Symphony.
Sharon's extraordinary lyricism and technique have also touched popular music fans, through her soundtrack work for films including
The Departed, and as a featured guest on Showtime Television's
The L Word.
Her stunning command of her instrument is clear on this week's titles, Isaias Savio's
Batucada and Antonio Lauro's
Waltz #3 (Natalia). And while these are not beginner level titles, Sharon makes her approach and technique understandable and accessible to mere mortals. We're honored to feature Sharon as iVideosong's first classical artist.
