Ricardo Tacuchian (left) looks over the shoulder of guitarist David Tanenbaum, while they were in the San Francisco Bay Area for the 8th Other Minds Music Festival in March of 2002. Ricardo Tacuchian, son of Armenian immigrants, was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1939. He is a celebrated composer, conductor, and scholar in his native Brazil and has received ample praise for his work throughout the United States, Europe, and South America. Tacuchian’s early work followed in the traditional, nationalistic footsteps of Brazilian classical music giant Hector Villa-Lobos, but in the seventies he began to adopt modernist leanings, concentrating on creating atmosphere and ambiance. For the last two decades, Tacuchian has been committed to what he calls "the overcoming of extremes," or the development of a post-modern synthesis of the traditional and experimental in which he values texture, density, timbre, and dynamic parameters within a contrasting context of precipitous rhythms, lyric expression, and a cosmopolitan and urban flavor. David Tanenbaum is one of the most admired classical guitarists of his generation. While his repertoire encompasses diverse styles, Tanenbaum is recognized as one of today’s most eloquent interpreters of new music for guitar. On March 7, 2002, Tanenbaum performed Ricardo Tacuchian‘s “Páprica” in it’s U.S. premiere as part of the first concert of OM 8.Genres & Subjects
