Jan-Inge Wijk, om fremførelse af værket Jord

Thomas Poulsen har ved flere lejligheder fremført mit værk for sologuitar med forstærkning, Jord. Det meget krævende stykke er skrevet på hans foranledning og han har i den grad gjort det til sit. Ved en koncert på musikkonservatoriet i Odense i 2012 var hans opførelse ikke blot uklanderlig; med sin personlighed belyste han nye facetter og de mest subtile nuancer i værket.

Prelude No. 1 in E minor: Andantino espressivo Più mosso is finely phrased with Poulsen bringing a sultry Latin flavour. He is fully in control of all the rhythmic changes and brings out some lovely details, not to mention some lovely poetic moments. He brings a real flair toPrelude No. 2 in E major: Andantino - Più mosso, a freedom and panache as the music shifts around, whilst finding many varied sonorities.

Poulsen provides a fine delicacy in the Étude No. 9 in F sharp minor: Tres peu animé, full of fluent, free flowing passages. Étude No. 10 in B minor: Tres animé - Un peu animé - Vif receives much fire and passion with passages of more thoughtful intimacy in this finely shaped performance with a terrific coda.

The gentle Étude No. 5 in C major: Andantino—Poco meno receives an exquisite performance, sensitive to every little detail and nuance before a lively, finely accented Étude No. 6 in E minor: Poco Allegro.

Here we have a particularly fine guitarist. It is his ability to shape and phrase, to find new textures and timbres that brings these works alive. My HiRes download is full of detail placing the soloist right there in one’s room.

Valsa-Chôro has a lovely rhythm and flow and some fine harmonies. This guitarist finds new textures at every turn and brings a great fluency in the faster passages. Gavotta-Chôro is beautifully paced with Poulsen finding some lovely textures, revealing a touch of melancholy in this beautiful performance, sensitive to every nuance. Chôrinho brings some fine rhythms, again superbly phrased with subtle control of tempi. There are some terrific faster passages as it develops with a particularly lovely coda.

I wouldn’t expect a single guitarist to excel in all three areas, but Poulsen provides credible versions of pretty much all of the music. His technique is strong, and the music is clearly communicated. He’s strongest, I think, in the Preludes, which are all five really excellent.

Jeg var overrasket over, hvordan jeg følte at jeg blev suget op på scenen, på en meget positiv måde, det var ligesom om at det blev et mere intimt rum, og jeg kunne ikke lade være med at gå derind.

Radio- kommentar af Jakob Kulberg under P2's kammermusik- konkurrence

There is expressiveness, a lyrical quality that includes a bit of rubato and a kind of lingering over the poignant aspects of the works. So the "Etudes," for example, show technical flourish but also a tenderness not always present when the music has a horserace-hurtling-to-the-finish-line freneticism.

I det hele taget vil jeg sige, at det er nydelsen, og det musikalske og det organiske. Klangligt er de også meget stærke, de har utroligt fat i de dynamiske nuancer...

Poulsen provides some beautiful arpeggios in the Étude No. 1 in E minor - Étude des arpèges: Allegro non Troppo of Douze études (1929; rev. 1948/53), with a beautifully done little coda. Étude No. 2 in A major - Des arpèges: Allegro finds this guitarist bringing a great fluency and dexterity to the rising and falling motif.

Kære Thomas
Endnu engang tusinde tak for din fantastiske performance i går. Det var med til at løfte vores dejlige dag endnu mere. Du blev rost fra mange sider. Når vi nu tænker tilbage på vores bryllupsdag er det svært at forestille sig denne, uden at du havde været med.
De bedste hilsener

Poulsen reveals all the reticent charm of the Mazurka-Chôro that opens the Suíte Populaire Brésilienna (1928, rev. 1947–48) with subtle, varied dynamics and a fine clarity. Schottisch-Chôro brings some exceptionally fine detail and fluency with beautiful phrasing. There is never a harsh note, Poulsen always finding a lovely tone.

Danske Thomas Lyng Poulsen har tagit sig an uppgiften att spela in Villa-Lobos gitarrmusik, vilket är ett stort och respektingivande projekt – det är ett omfattande material att tränga in i och bitvis rejält svårspelat.

Rich, darker tones open the Prelude No. 3 in A minor: Andante - Molto adagio e dolorido with Poulsen delivering a lovely rich tone. He is fully inside Villa-Lobos’ sound world in the way he paces and phrases the music with some quite exquisite moments. Poulsen brings a glorious sound to Prelude No. 4 in E minor: Lento – Animato – Moderato, beautifully paced and sensitively controlled with some fine fluency in the faster passages.

There is a finely shaped Étude No. 7 in E major: Tres animé - Moins with Poulsen’s lovely phrasing and attention to subtle dynamics revealing so many facets of this music. He finds a gentle tempo out of which to draw Villa-Lobos’ lovely little theme for Étude No. 8 in C sharp minor: Modéré with moments of faster, fluent playing as the works develops, occasionally finding a darker atmosphere.

Det swinger rigtig godt... De har en fed rytmik, det er simpelthen bare helt rigtigt, på én eller anden måde, altså. De har et stort flot overskud, de har god dynamik, de nyder at spille. Man kan høre, at de simpelthen giver sig hen til musikken.

Torben Enghoff, ekspert- kommentator under P2's kammermusik- konkurrence

Thomas Lyng Poulsen has an abundance of technique which he puts to good use throughout, but perhaps most importantly he gives us a very musical reading of these wonderful works.

The Valsa Concerto No. 2 (1904) is one of Villa-Lobos's very first compositions to survive. Thomas Lyng Poulsen brings some lovely flourishes to this work before picking up a fine rhythmic quality. Poulsen provides a fine clarity of musical line and extracts many fine timbres and textures from his instrument.

Jan-Inge Wijk om værket "Jord"

Det har det der organiske, det har det der, som jazz-musikere kalder groove. De sådan vugger, de falder ned i sig selv, og bliver sådan én stor gyngende organisme.

Torben Enghoff, ekspert- kommentator under P2's kammermusik- konkurrence

De havde en virkelig god puls, som i klassisk musik ikke altid er der, så det var skønt at høre.

There is a sultry Étude No. 11 in E minor: Lent—Poco meno - Animé with Poulsen finding so many textures and timbres as the work develops and becomes more animated. Finely there is a lovely Étude No. 12 in A minor: Animé - Più mosso - a tempo primo - Un peu plus animé with Poulsen delivering a performance of great dexterity and clarity, finely phrased. A terrific way to round off this disc.
