Description
Matt Redman plays numerous plucked stringed instruments, in styles from the Medieval times to the present day, with a focus on historic guitars from the late Victorian Era to the Jazz Age.
He has re-created and performed in period ensembles for Sony Records, Universal and the BBC; made arrangements for “Our Lovely Day”, a CD of songs from 1840-1947; and directed and arranged an album of songs from the First World War in 2015 featuring mezzo-soprano Patricia Hammond.
On this record he plays a Gibson L-4 archtop acoustic guitar made in 1911; one of the first guitars to be designed to be strung with steel strings instead of gut, giving the necessary projection to be heard on a cylinder recording.
Matt wrote La Carnauba Waltz in 2015.
