是一位不用脚凳的大师：

metal4ever

他是捷克的，作曲比他演奏有名，威廉斯等大师都有演过他的作品，弹得不错的，但一般不易懂的曲目。

评论：


       


"In the world of the classical guitar there are bad guitarists, good guitarists, superb guitarists and Štěpán Rak."
John Button, The Dominion Sunday Times, Wellington, New Zealand 1992
"Rak, Paganini of the guitar."
Josef Horat, Vaterland - Schweizerische Tageszeitung 1989
"Beethoven described the guitar as a 'miniature orchestra'; no one has done more then Štěpán Rak to make this believable."
John W. Duarte 1988
"Mozart of the guitar…Štěpán Rak is simply one of the top two or three players in the world today, arguably the best."
Joe Matyas, The London Free Press 1995
"There can be little doubt that future generations of guitarists will look upon Štěpán Rak as one of the great geniuses of our time."
Classical Guitar 1984
"A virtuoso guitarist and composer placed in the same league as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven."
Donna Mulhearn, Australia 1991
"One ot the world's best classical guitarists…"
John McMillan, New Zealand 1992
"Like a one-man-band busker with a third leg and a hidden extra arm, he conjures up effects that seem to defy the reality of six strings and 10 fingers."
Michael Dervan, Irish Times 1991
"Rak is alone in entrusting to the guitar even the most violent and disturbin emotions and in the extraordinary array of sounds he extracts from the instrument."
John W. Duarte, Guitar International 1987
"Štěpán Rak is a true artist in every sense of the word, an excellent composer, a sensitive musician, and a brilliant guitarist."
The Nelson Evening Mail 1999
"Throughout music history, no matter which instrument, there stnd out composers, usually instrumental performers, whose works have developed the musical possibilities of their instrument, thus furthering its technigue. Sor, Giuliani, Regondi, Tárrega, Barrios and Brouwer (to name but few) are the more significant players to have achieved this. Štěpán Rak is perhaps the newest arrival to this tradition."
Michael Edmonds, Guitar International 1985
"Štěpán Rak has shown through his own works how he has transormed the guitar from a solo instrument into a whole orchestra…"
Chandos Records Limited 1988
"There is no real purpose in the course of this brief review for juxtaposing adjectives acclaiming his brilliance, technical mastery, and what-not. Those who have heard Rak 'live' in concert will know what I mean, while those who have not heard him in such a setting, cannot fully appreciate the magic and wizardry involved. Go to his concert, listen with your ears and with your heart, and the you'll understand."
David Norton, California 1990
