Kristina Vårlid is known for an almost «crazy strength in the weak parts». She sees the classical guitar as a treasure chest, and in this intimate format we get to take part in all the secrets the instrument holds. The title Breathing Space is no coincidence; this is where time stands still, and where the weakest note is so perfectly formed that one hardly dares to breathe. Through a combination of technical brilliance and a deep, lyrical ability to convey, Vårlid will push the guitar’s boundaries and give us a concert experience characterized by closeness and magic. We get to hear how one of Europe’s foremost guitarists manages the classical tradition with a modern and personal perspective. «This is the finest classical guitar record I have ever heard… so subtle that I hardly dare to breathe.» – Ola Nordal, Ballade.
