Joaquim Freire was born in Recife, Brazil, but also spent part of his
childhood in Chile, where he took up playing the guitar, and in the
United States. At the age of thirteen, he moved with his family to
Switzerland and pursued his studies at the Conservatoires of Geneva and
Lausanne. Apart from his concert career, he teaches the guitar at the
Conservatoire de Fribourg. As a soloist, he has already attracted
international attention over the past few years. Especially his
interpretations of the works of Latin American contemporary composers
have received high critical acclaim by audience and critics alike.
Soon more news and concert dates!
GRAMOPHONE
«... Freire's moodily kaleidoscopic performance of this
work (Ginastera) wins the gold... superbly recorded... warmly
recommended...»
STEREO REVIEW
«Exquisite performances of a cornerstone of modern guitar
music... Joaquim Freire is an immensely talented Brazilian guitarist
who makes the difficult sound easy and then moves on to make music.»
