Michael Chapdelaine is the only guitarist ever to win First Prize in the world's top competitions in both the Classical and Fingerstyle genres; the Guitar Foundation of America International Classical Guitar Competition and the National Fingerstyle Championships at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield , Kansas. From New York's Lincoln Center to the Cactus Cafe in Austin, from Milano to Bangkok, Michael continues to enchant, dazzle and surprise audiences and critics alike as he redefines the modern acoustic guitar with his amazing technique, "soulful" expressiveness, and versatility as a performer, composer and arranger/producer. His performances, played on both steel string and classical guitars, include musical styles ranging from blues to Bach to country to rhythm n' blues as he wins his audiences hearts with breath taking technique and the poetic magic of his original musical portraits and landscapes.

In the 80's and 90's Michael proved himself to be one of the world's finest classical guitarists; twice winning the coveted National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist Grant, and taking First Prize in both the Guitar Foundation of America's and the Music Teachers National Association's Guitar Competitions. He also won the Silver Medal in Venezuela's VIII Concurso International de Guitarra "Alirio Diaz". He has toured four continents while giving hundreds of performances for Affiliate Artists Inc., and various arts promotion organizations. I

n 1992 he recorded the Sonata Romantica CD, (now re-released as "Mexico"), which many critics and connoisseurs of classical guitar consider to be one of the definitive recordings for the instrument. Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote "... if I were marooned on a desert island with a limited selection of recordings, this one would be among my choices...I have seldom heard a more beautiful album. Other young guitarists have excellent technique, but few have such style and musicality, and Chapdelaine's beautiful tone is the nearest to Segovia's that I can recall." In 1994 Michael turned his attention to pop music, in arranging, producing and recording Time-Life Music's beautiful Guitar by Moonlight collection (also released as "with love"), which sold 250,000 copies in it's first two years in the stores. In 1998, he once again, expanded his musical range and gained instant notoriety and credibility in the "acoustic music" world as a "fingerstyle" guitarist and composer, by winning the National Fingerpicking Championships at Winfield.

Michael is Professor of Music and head of guitar studies at the University of New Mexico, and has previously been on the faculties of the University of Colorado at Denver and Metropolitan State University. He has given master classes throughout the world including, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Peru, Venezuela, Taiwan, Indonesia and at institutions such as, University of Miami, Mannes School of Music, University of Texas, and California State University. His teachers included the great Spanish maestro Andres Segovia.

A lot of people talk shit about Chapdelaine, and I'm not sure why. The guy does more for the instrument than many who post feeble ramblings up here. Why cut a guy up because the classical guitar lost its luster for him? As for arrogant, I've talked with the man, and he's about as far from arrogant as they come...

I enjoyed this video, thought you did a good job man. Don't know what the other posts are talking about.

@TeReSaMeNdOzA if you listen (or read) his interviews, you'll learn he HATES what speed has done to espression in modern classical interpretations.. then you'll be smarter... He plays really good classical guitar, I think he asks himself if it's still worth it? Like the comments on this video, not too many people would recognise something wonderful, even if it hit them hard...

The poor man is in limbo, a mediocre classical cat and an average steel string player. I can't listen to him very long.

That's because you are blind and deaf, obviously.

I used to have a few of Christopher Parkening records and am familiar with his version. This is wonderful. Have just become aware of Michael Chapdelaine here on YouTube. Thanks for sharing!

[jedufour]

Mueve muy bien los dedos, tiene una velocidad asombrosa, pero la ejecución del instrumento no se agota ahí. Ha arruinado una maravillosa obra de Albéniz. Escúchenla por Alirio Díaz.

I can write for you any sheet music
