Live at Gitarrentage Darmstadt December 2014 The Barrios Guitar Quartet of Frankfurt, Germany, is a chamber ensemble bringing a new dimension of musicality and creativity to classical guitar playing. Inspired by the expressive ingenuity of Paraguayan composer Agustin Barrios Mangore, they perform on a variety of instruments from different musical eras—Baroque guitar, Quintbass guitar, modern concert guitar, and percussion. They also transcribe or arrange most of their own music to complement their technical virtuosity and to express great variations of tonal colors. Their innovative repertoires include selections from early Baroque to modern—offering audiences a dynamic chamber music experience that has set new standards for the genre and earned them critical acclaim: “The BGO is a first-rate ensemble filled with virtuosic players…this is music and music making of infectious vitality…” Al Kunze, Soundboard Magazine, USA "a major voice in the world of guitar ensembles" William Kanengiser, Los Angeles Guitar Quartet"
