"The Reid Concert Hall has donned many guises for this year's
Fringe. Serving its prime purpose - that of a concert hall - the
venue hosted a number of classical concerts. It has also served as a
theatre and as a comedy venue - I wonder what General Reid would
have said about the latter? For the Roots @ The Reid Series, it was
the platform for folk-music; and as the audience entered the hall
for last night's concert by the Scottish Guitar Quartet, there was
an unmistakable 'nightclub' feel to the place.
Having been in existence for nearly five years, The Scottish Guitar
Quartet embraces a wide diversity of styles which encompasses
Celtic, modern, classical, jazz and world music - earning them
widespread recognition as leaders in the field of contemporary
guitar music. And one can understand why. As individuals, their
musical achievements are impressive; therefore, it comes as no
surprise that when they combine their virtuosic talents, the result
is something not only unique, but truly magical.
During a programme lasting just over an hour, the foursome 'wowed'
their large audience with an energetic mixture of contrasting styles
- from lively jazz and fiery rhythms to 'easy listening' numbers of
a more relaxed nature.
With stunning tone-colouring and compelling harmonies, their
refreshingly original sound creates new dimensions, as the quartet
explore every facet of the instrument's potential - from its
delicate nuances to its emotional fervour.
The ardour of their audience (comprised mainly, I suspect, of guitar
aficionados) was apparent from the standing ovation and the
enthusiastic cheers and applause that greeted the musicians at the
close of the concert.
Absolutely brilliant. The Scottish Guitar Quartet sparkles with
dazzling virtuosity."
