TY Zhang – 'Tuhú' from 'Hommage a Villa-Lobos' by Roland Dyens

https://guitarmag.net == Tengyue 'TY' Zhang plays 'Tuhú' – 4th movement of 'Hommage a Villa-Lobos' by Roland Dyens (1955-2016). This is a dazzling toccata by way of conclusion. It contains, at the end, brilliant use of harmonics and different applications of touch on the strings. The rapid, driving music imitates train sound, as Villa-Lobos did sometimes in his music, and often did vocally as a little boy (that's why his childhood nickname was "Tuhú"). TY Zhang is the world’s most prestigious guitar competition award winner – Guitar Foundation of American (GFA) International Concert Artist Competition (ICAC) 2017. Same year, he won the first prize on Alexander Frauchi Competition. Performed live on November 9th, 2018 on 'Two evenings in November' Festival. Gnessins' Academy of Music, Moscow, Russia.
