Check out Gary's new FANTASIA ON "THE FLYING DUTCHMAN" OVERTURE
Music composed by Richard Wagner 1843
Arranged for solo electric guitar by Gary Lucas
Recorded by Marc Urselli at EastSide Sound NYC
Absolutely no overdubs
Painting: "The Flying Dutchman" by Albert Pinkham Ryder, 1887, oil on canvas
This piece was developed by Gary to perform at MIT a couple years ago for his friend and partner Alison Clancy. Alison is the Principal Dancer of the Metropolitan Opera Ballet Corps and she had opened their new production onstage dancing to the orchestral version solo alone on stage before the opera proper commenced—the new production was sadly closed a week after opening because of Lockdown.
