尼古拉.安吉利斯(Nicolas de Angelis)

關於法國吉他大師Nicolas de Angelis(尼古拉.安吉利斯)，澳大利亞一名記者在悉尼的一份報紙上寫道：“迷人的微笑，意大利式的黑色頭發，法蘭西式的迷人魅力，尼古拉斯的一切都是一種純粹的誘惑。他的手型，頎長的手指給人印象深刻。”即使有這些，如果沒有後天的努力——從演奏古典音樂中獲得技巧，他還是不能演奏哪怕是最基本的音樂會曲目。1981年，尼古拉.安吉利斯出版了他的第一張單曲LP唱片《安娜小箋》。時至今日，尼古拉.安吉利斯仍然被認為是法國浪漫主義吉他的英雄。他的目標不是成為一個受大家喜愛的音樂大師，而是開創一種屬於他自己的音樂風格。（摘自網絡）

Australian journalist wrote of Nicolas de Angelis in the Sydney newspapers, "Coaxing smile, Italian dark hair, French charm: everything about Nicolas de Angelis is pure seduction. The size of his hands and the length of his fingers are impressive..." Even with his talent, without this latter gift from nature, Nicolas de Angelis would be unable to perform the classical repertoire for which he was trained.

At the age of ten, Nicolas started the guitar with a teacher from the Paris Academy who first inspired his great love of the instrument. "Without this difficult and rigorous training" says Nicolas, "I would have great problems when it comes to playing the apparently easier pieces." Finally in 1981 he recorded his first solo LP, "Quelques Notes Pour Anna." This album paved the way for his further successes. Nicolas de Angelis is now recognised as the hero of the French Romantic Guitar trend. He has further recorded the following albums "Amour mon amour", "L'Espagnol", "Voyage", "Goa", "Grand Concert", "L'Amour à Plein Coeur", "Soleil", and the latest "Toute La Guitare". His aim is not to compete with his favourite maestros, but to create a new style all of his own. He travels thousands of miles every year. "I have always lived and will always live for the guitar," he says, "even if I went to a desert island, I would take my guitar with me." When he is not traveling, Nicolas lives on the outskirts of Paris with his wife, Evelyne, and his two daughters. "I have my own studio where I keep all my guitars and where I work on my own everyday, but I like to know that the people I love best are nearby." (Source：Internet)
