Sharon Isbin  Play

Boyce Lancaster interviews the guitarist Sharon Isbin.  Ms. Isbin talks about her recordings, which range from her work with Joan Baez to the New York Philharmonic, which made with her the first recording of Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez in many years (later in the interview she talks about her friendship with the composer).  A concert guitarist, she discusses the limitations of the guitar repertoire and new works that she commissioned, or were written for her by composers such as John Corigliano, Lucas Foss, and Aaron Jay Kernis.  She also talks about one of her teachers, the pianist Rozalyn Tureck, who helped Ms. Isbin to prepare the first performance editions of the Bach lute suites for guitar. They end their conversation with the web site IVideosongs, for which Ms. Isbin recorded the first classical tutorial.
