Winner of the Independent Music Award for his triple live album “Encore”, voted Best World Music Guitarist by Guitar Player Magazine readers’ Poll, winner of the Rose d’Or at the Montreux Festival for his debut album, Pierre is recognized as one of the greatest guitar players of the 21st century.
French Guitarist Pierre Bensusan is a true master of the acoustic guitar, renowned worldwide for his breathtaking fingerstyle technique, rich melodies, and pioneering use of DADGAD tuning. Blending folk, jazz, classical, Celtic, and world-music influences, Pierre transforms a single guitar into an entire orchestra.
“For me, so total is his mastery of the solo instrument, his dazzling harmony, his many innovations, and his deft command of counterpoint, the jazz idiom, folk expression, and all genres between and beyond, an entire history unfolds as Pierre Bensusan plays. But really, the emotional depth – and this is where true artistry often likes to live – of many of his songs and compositions is all, well, breathtaking. With only his steel-string-acoustic guitar – and sometimes his rich, affecting voice – Mr Bensusan can disassemble your heart and hand it back to you restored and renewed as he did to mine tonight. A true giant.”
