When you hear Fernando Gonzalez play the guitar, you will find the most varied styles, the most diverse eras, a multiplicity of combinations of instruments for chamber music and symphonic music, as well as a musical discovery across the globe. One feels great emotion while seeing that a simple instrument of six strings can produce infinitely diverse sensations, which range from the dense depth of the universal until the sublime lightness of virtuosity. Through his music one understands that in art - and that in all cultures – music, more than the interpret reality, plays a very important role in the refinement of the spirit.
