Tarantelle by J. K. Mertz – Simon Wynberg David Hewitt guitar duo – London 1986 cassette tape

Originally recorded in London in 1986, the present track (the 10th of 10) has been restored from a cassette tape. The guitar duet version of Joseph Kaspar Mertz's "Tarantelle" (a.k.a. "Tarantella" by Johann Kaspar Mertz [sic]). 𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐘𝐍𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐆 was born in Edinburgh in 1955. He studied the guitar with Fritz Buss in Johannesburg, later attending master classes with Narciso Yepes in Paris (1975) and, again, with Buss in Antwerp (1981–83). He holds a masters degree in musicology from Goldsmiths' College, University of London and is a leading authority on the guitar's repertoire, with particular emphasis on music of the nineteenth century. He has researched and edited thousands of pages of music. Glowing reviews and accolades followed his pioneering recordings, performances, and editions, which reintroduced the guitar community to numerous, at one stage forgotten guitar masters like Mertz, Legnani, Zani de Ferranti, De Fossa, and others. New works by, among others, Nicholas Maw ("Little Suite"), Stanley Glasser ("On the Road to Umtata" & "Mr Masenga's Walk"), and Michael Blake ("Leaf-carrying Song" & "Warhorses" for 10-string guitar) have also been composed specifically for Simon. The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians describes him as “not only a virtuoso performer of distinction but one of the guitar’s foremost scholars.” He has performed at the Newport, Bermuda, Sitka, Ann Arbor, Santa Fé and Ottawa chamber music festivals, at New York's Bargemusic, as well as in venues throughout the U.K. and Europe, as soloist and with singers, instrumentalists, and ensembles. Simon also founded and directed chamber-music festivals in Ontario, Scotland, and the Caribbean. He moved to Toronto in the early '90s. There, his administrative, practical, and musicological experience led to his appointment as the Artistic Director of The Royal Conservatory’s ARC Ensemble, which has established an international reputation as a result of its pioneering work in the research, performance, and recording of music marginalized and forgotten as a result of political suppression.

After beginning his career as an award-winning singer and electric guitarist, he began studying the classical guitar with Fritz Buss in 1967. His remarkable progress led him to attend master classes with Narciso Yepes in Paris (1975) where he was singled out, after Godelieve Monden and Fritz Buss, as the finest of Yepes's pupils, appearing in the final recital just before Monden's closing performance. David's achievements at these classes ultimately led to an invitation for personal tuition at the home of Yepes in Madrid. In South Africa, David established his position as a leading performer and teacher. He appeared on South African television and radio and was a part-time lecturer at the Universities of Natal and the Witwatersrand. Several South African composers wrote substantial works for David and his 10-string guitar, including David Hönigsberg's "Suite on African Themes" and Cromwell Everson's Sonata for 10-string guitar. In 1985, he was invited to London by fellow Buss/Yepes alumnus, the guitarist, musicologist, and editor, Simon Wynberg, to record the guitar duets of J. K. Mertz and Napoléon Coste. David later released two albums of his own compositions, "An African Tapestry" (1989) and "The Storyteller" (1990). David tragically passed away in 2001 after a long battle with early-onset Alzheimer's.
