DESCRIPTION
GUNTER HERBIG WAS BORN IN BRAZIL and grew up in Portugal and Germany. Influenced by such different cultures and aesthetic languages, Gunter has developed a highly personal, charismatic, and expressive style of playing and performance, which sets him well apart from his contemporaries. The balance of Brazilian sensuousness, Portuguese intense passion and German intellect and finesse are the hallmark of his playing. Gunter's dynamic and expressive sense of adventure has made him an audience favorite on the concert platform wherever he goes and has solicited universal praise by critics in the music world.

SINCE MOVING TO NEW ZEALAND in 1989, Gunter has made numerous national concert tours of this country and has a busy performance schedule, which has taken him to South America, Central America and Europe where he appears as a soloist and chamber musician on concert platforms and festivals. He has performed on several live broadcasts on television and radio in New Zealand and Mexico and has recorded for a number of film scores and television documentaries. His best selling debut solo CD "HAUTURU – WHERE THE WINDS REST" was released in 2007 by Ode Records.

Reviews
Absolute Master



" …(Gunter Herbig) is an absolute master of his métier… he performed with dreamlike secure virtuosity, from breathed harmonics to fully realised orchestral flights of an entirely explored dynamic scale…"

Hans Höfer, Coburger Tageblatt), January 2006
 
Fabulous, totally and extraordinarily fabulous

His playing is incredible, how can you communicate such power with an instrument just made of wood and nylon strings? My goodness, it is incredible how he pulls them (the strings); this piece makes reference to the wind, how it makes its passage and comes to rest and Gunter manages to make us hear this wind...

...Fabulous, totally and extraordinarily fabulous.

Ricardo from LaGuitare.com (France), November 2007:
 
Meltingly Beautiful
Guitar aficionados will appreciate Villa Lobos' Twelve Etudes where Herbig goes back to the composer's original manuscript, with meltingly beautiful results.

William Dart, New Zealand Herald, December 2007
 
Terrific
I was excited by the Lilburn pieces - none of the previous performances (or recordings) I've heard have had as much life and musicality as your version. Terrific!

Jack Body, April 2007
