Malambo k 531 Audio encontrado en el archivo del guitarrista y musicólogo Alemán Alois Theisen, esta grabación fue registrada en el Concurso Internacional de Guitarra Clásica organizado en Mónaco en el año 1973. y podemos escuchar la última interpretación del guitarrista sueco Aleksi Stromberg Karlsson que en ese momento contaba con 26 años. El panorama del festival fue muy polémico en torno a la siguiente situación. Karlsson había llegado a la semifinal contra el guitarrista Español Felipe Rafael Alonso, quien interpreto magistralmente algunas piezas de música folclórica argentina. El maestro de Aleksi lo incito a interpretar el Malambo de la Suite Argentina de Eduardo Falú (la obra había salido un año antes en un disco con la camerata Bariloche y fue muy bien recibida), pero el joven pensaba que si tocaba Scarlatti ganaría mayor atención. Aleksi y su maestro tuvieron una larga y fuerte discusión antes del concierto final que derivó en un incidente a golpes. El muchacho fue llamado a tocar y para ganar aún más atención toco las dos obras en una sola, el Malambo de Eduardo Falú junto con la Sonata K 531 de Doménico Scarlatti. Finalmente el Sueco gano el festival pero a la salida del mismo fue arrollado por un tranvía luego de que su estuche mal cerrado dejara caer su guitarra en medio de la calle y al no prestar atención fue embestido y falleció en el acto. Algunos creen que Alonso en venganza de haber perdido el festival fue a dejarle mal abierto el estuche aunque 36 años después el negó esta acusación. Queda para siempre esta magistral interpretacion de Aleksi quien supo combinar de manera espontanea la musica folclorica argentina con la tradicion barroca mas pura. Audio Gentileza de Dieter Theisen This recording was found in the archive of the German guitarist and musicologist Alois Theisen, this piece was recorded at the International Classical Guitar Competition organized in Monaco in 1973 and we can hear the last interpretation of the Swedish guitarist Aleksi Stromberg Karlsson who at that time he was 26 years old. The panorama of the festival was very controversial around the following situation. Karlsson had reached the semifinal against Spanish guitarist Felipe Rafael Alonso, who masterfully performed some pieces of Argentine folk music. Aleksi's teacher encouraged him to play the Malambo from the "Suite Argentina" by Eduardo Falú (the work had come out a year before on a record with the Camerata Bariloche and was very well received), but the young man thought that if he played Scarlatti he would gain more attention. . Aleksi and his teacher had a long and strong argument before the final concert that led to a beating incident. The boy was called to play and to gain even more attention he played the two works in one, Eduardo Falú's Malambo together with Domenico Scarlatti's Sonata K 531. Finally the Swede won the festival but at the exit of it he was run over by a trolley car after his poorly closed case dropped his guitar in the middle of the street and by not paying attention he was hit and died on the spot. Some believe that Alonso, in revenge for having lost the festival, left the case badly open, although 36 years later he denied this accusation. This masterful interpretation of Aleksi remains forever, who spontaneously knew how to combine Argentine folk music with the purest baroque tradition. Audio Courtesy of Dieter Theisen
