Switched on: Classical guitar star goes electric
NewsIn a diversion akin to Bob Dylan’s early transition from folk to rock, the rising classical guitarist Sean Shibe has taken up the electric guitar on his new album.
It’s a collection on Delphian of contemporary devotional works by Shibe’s friend, the Scottish composer Lliam Paterson, sung by the choir of King’s College London with solo accompaniment by Shibe, who is plugged in to the electricity grid.
This is not to be mistaken for a quotable review, but on first hearing it sounds pretty damn good to me.
Stand by for ructions from the purists.
