"Minstrelsy has always been with us, despite a romantic tendency to link it with mediaeval times, but in the performances of Hezy Levy we are brought to a fresh appreciation of how contemporary minstrelsy can be so thoroughly entertaining! Levy Captivates from the first moment - appearing like some dark, passionate exotic sculpture from an ancient civilization, a dusky hew that hints of secrets. But when he begins to sing, in a liquid crystalline tenor voice, of all the sobbing sighs of generations of happy or unhappy lovers, we wake to a realization: this is the long lineage of minstrelsy make fresh for our own time. With unerring skill Levy weaves his voice and guitar together in a tapestry of seductive sounds in a manner unique to him, and yet we recognize that this is how we always dreamed that these songs should be presented" (Anthony Rooley). In this CD you'll find charming early 19th century - originally composed for the guitar and a tenor voice. Songs by Sor, Giuliani, Moretti, English romantic songs and many others. Levy’s performance (singing and playing simultaneously) emphasizes the authentic spirit of that era, like F. Sor who “... performed in many concerts, both as a singer and a guitarist” (F. Sor, Composer and Guitarist by B. Jeffrey) for more information visit : www.troubadour.name “He charms the entire audience with his fine Tenor voice and ebullient personality” (Emma Kirkby)
