Brilliant CD Alert!! David Stevenson’s “May, Arise”!

Paul Heumiller | November 1, 2011
Classical Guitars, DG Updates, Music, Musicians

Frequent visitors to the Dream Guitars website have no doubt noticed our recent fine classical guitar demos, all compliments of one extremely talented guitarist, David Stevenson. David is both a skilled performer and an immensely gifted composer. On May, Arise Stevenson and percussionist River Guerguerian collaborate on a engaging set of music that showcases  instrumental mastery, as well as great emotional depth.

May, Arise by David Stevenson with River Guerguerian

The songs have a transcendent uplifting quality that sound contemporary and immediate, while simultaneously conjuring images or the ancient and arcane; no mean feat indeed! Guerguerian’s skillful performance, featuring a wealth of global percussion, supports and enhances the material wonderfully.

For guitarists, David Stevenson’s playing is an inspiration. Technically brilliant, the sound of his custom Abe Wechter guitar propels May, Arise with skillful execution from the very first track to the CD’s extremely satisfying conclusion. We highly recommend this very fine CD! For more information about David, and to purchase May, Arise please click here.

Check out the following clips:

1) Eastern Anthem

2) 11/8

3) Bulldozing for Zen

4) Resolution

Dream Guitars is extremely pleased to have a player of David’s high caliber to demonstrate our nylon string instruments. Look for more information about David, including video lessons and performance video in weeks to come!

Players Say: "The best at what they do"

Having worked behind the scenes at Dream Guitars® for a couple of years now, I can safely say that Paul, Logan, and Larry are absolutely the best at what they do. They are honest and extremely knowledgeable about the instruments they sell. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a quality new, preowned, or vintage instrument. You won’t find this combination of talent anywhere else on the planet and I feel extremely lucky that they are here in my own backyard.
