BIOGRAPHY

Goran Krivokapic, born 1979, is one of the leading guitarists of the young international guitar scene. The reasons for this are not only his technical virtuosity, which sets new standards, but also his characteristical interpretation of old and new repertoire.Apart from winning eighteen international competitions, he received two Golden Guitar awards during the annual International Guitar Convention in Alessandria - in 2005 as the best young guitarist of the year and in 2006 for best CD of the year. He won his first international competition when he was fourteen, but his breakthrough came in 2004 when he won two of the most prestigious guitar competitions in North and South America, namely the Guitar Foundation of America in Montreal, Canada, and the Dr. Luis Sigall International Competition of Musical Performance in Viña del Mar, Chile. Since then he has performed all over the world and plays as a soloist in the most prestigious halls, such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Lubkowitz Palace in Vienna, and Auditorio Conde Duque in Madrid. As an artist, lecturer and adjudicator, he is a frequent guest at many international festivals and universities in Europe and America.Goran Krivokapic's musical focus is on the development of new works for classical guitar, mainly through making his own transcriptions from the Baroque and Classical works, but also collaborating with contemporary composers. He lectures at the Koblenz International Guitar Academy, in which students have the opportunity to complete a post-graduate course of studies in his class.

The artist knows this music!"AeroKnow.com"My expectations were high when I pressed the "play"- button; I was not disappointed. Rarely have I heard such remarkable fluency and lightness. Rarely have I heard a guitar sing with such sonority."musicweb-international.com"Goran Krivokapic offers us a beautiful disc, with such variety of repertoire, which enables him to show a broad range of his talent in his clear and limpid play, without becoming stereotype."ResMusica.com"He is a real discovery that you should hear."naxos.com
