PRESENT A DOUGLAS NIEDT CONCERT
Presenter's Tool Kit


Mr. Niedt is not only a brilliant master of his instrument, but a performer of
great sensitivity; the wealth of sound and the dynamic finesse which he elicits
from the guitar promise to make him a worthy companion of the few great
guitarists such as Andrés Segovia and Julian Bream.




Once in a generation or so, an artist emerges whose command of
technique is so grounded that all boundaries to musical expression are
lifted and what ensues is a flawless interpretation of pure beauty. Doug
Niedt is one such artist in our time.




You don't always get what you wish for, but one of my dreams just came true.
I kept hoping that performers and composers of music for classical guitar
would expand their horizons to North America and make the guitar more
"ours" than "theirs."

St. Louis guitarist Douglas Niedt, whose recital was given a warm welcome by
a large and enthusiastic crowd managed to do just that. Douglas Niedt made
it seem like the guitar was our national instrument.

Despite the tux he wore, his relaxed playing, articulate comments on the
music and self-effacing humor all reinforced the impression of the audience's
being invited to the home of a good friend for some serious musical fun.

It turned out to be a perfect crossover recital, one of those rare instances
where music really does transcend national boundaries and artificial
categories.




Douglas Niedt is a first-rate guitarist with polished technique and a
room-filling tone. His easy, versatile technique seemed to know no obstacles.




The classical guitar, when expertly played, can provide one of the most
emotionally rewarding musical experiences to be had in the recital hall.
The pleasures lie in the delicate subtleties of rhythm and tonal coloration,
and these joys were brought home by guitarist Douglas Niedt, a personable
artist from St. Louis who has clearly mastered the technical demands and
communicative riches of his instrument.
