Pierre Bensusan – Encore – New Release Review
I have just received the newest release,
Encore, from Pierre Bensusan and it’s quite stunning. Bensusan, a world renown acoustic guitar
player has captured a retrospective of his 40 year career with 35 tracks on 3 CD’s, all recorded
live. Eleven of the tracks have never been released commercially in any form. As you might imagine,
trying to describe in detail the wealth of music included in well over 3 hours of cohesive but
diverse material is difficult. This release is packed full of sensitive, sometimes quiet, sometimes
rowdy and sometimes funny but always extremely well executed music. To listen to this package is to
understand this package. Complimented by a booklet presented as a journal of photos, stories and
anecdotes the music shows a worldly interpretation in it’s broadest sense from
classical styling to bluegrass. My personal favorite passage on the release is an 18 minute long
Celtic Medley. I’m certain if you are inclined toward acoustic musical interpretation, this will be
on your list of
must hears. I know that I enjoyed it.
