Bryan Johanson has contributed a number of significant works to the
guitar repertoire, but with his Twenty-Four Preludes, he has made an
immense contribution to our music. Each of the works is exceedingly well
crafted compositionally with both integrity and variety of thought, yet
perfectly idiomatic to our instrument. As is noted in the following
review, it would be silly to attempt to describe each of the works; the
music would be devalued by the attempt. But I will cite Preludes No. 10,
a beautifully heartfelt work (with it's own little story - read the
notes online); No. 12, "Calmato - Vivo ma non troppo"; and No. 19,
"Lento sostenuto", very beautiful. But I need to stop. Johanson can
write music that is muscular or gentle, disjunct or lyrical, overt or
reflective, and find a beautiful aesthetic tone for each. It is
composition of the highest order.
The composer wants the Preludes to
be considered as an integral set, but at over forty-seven minutes length
(as recorded here) it is inevitable that they will be excerpted by many
players. Nonetheless, I would love to hear a complete performance if
the playing is as good as Michael Partington's. It really seems as if he
has lived with these works for a very long time, which clearly cannot
be the case. But his complete technical mastery of and committed
identification with the material are hugely impressive...
