Some
guitarists start studying guitar pushed by an innate passion, some
others thanks to their curiosity, others are encouraged by their
parents... how did you start studying guitar?
Andrea
Wild
My
parents used to listen to a classical radio station every sunday at
lunch and there was had kind of a ‘ranking’ during that time.
Joaquin Rodrigo’s ‘Concerto Andaluz’ was in the first place for
a few weeks and I really fell in love with that piece - so I decided
to study guitar. A lot of other people told me that I was too young –
but they were wrong…

Are
you still used to publically perform also as a solo guitarist? Which
is your preferred solo guitar repertoire?
Andrea
Wild
Of
course I also perform as a solo guitarist – but to be honest: I
prefer to play with the girls. At the moment, my favourite pieces are
‘Invocacíon y danza’ by Joaquin Rodrigo, Sor’s ‘Grand Solo
op. 14’ and ‘Koyunbaba op. 19’ by Carlo Domeniconi. In general
I love to play Spanish Music of every epoche and classical pieces.

Who
is your favorite composer?
Andrea
Wild
This
is a VERY difficult question!! My first thoughts are Joaquin Rodrigo
and Niccoló Paganini, but there are so much more composers, like
e.g. Astor Piazzolla and Joaquin Turina – so I fear I cannot make a
decision!

Do
you play also with other musician that are not member of
guitArtistas?
Andrea
Wild
I
am also part of a tango-group called ‘Cosmopolytango’, which is
composed of violin, double bass, vibraphone and guitar.
In
addition to that I am the front singer of a jazzband and sometimes I
also use to play in a string-quartet (I also studied violoncello when
I was a child).

Let’s
imagine you have to play with another (others) musician (musicians)
which is not a member of guitArtistas, let’s say, another ensemble
with guitar(s) and other(s) instrument(s). Just imagine how guitar
timbers could be combined with other instruments (no limit of number
of instruments). Other then the quartet (of course!) which ensemble
with guitar could be the best, in your opinion?
Andrea
Wild
If
I could choose an ensemble to play with (another one than
guitartistas) I would like to play in the ‘Janoska Ensemble’,
‘Mnozil Brass’ or with Erwin Schrott and his ‘Rojotango group’.

You
already arranged some compositions for the quartet. Are you working
on new transcriptions?
Andrea
Wild
Yes,
I already work on two new transcriptions – but that’s a secret so
far ;-)

You
did CD recordings in the past. Please, give us more details.

When
I was a teenager, I won an Austrian competition playing i.a. a
completely new piece by Kurt Schwertsik. Afterwards I was invited to
record this beautiful piece for a CD (contemporary music) in the ORF
(Austrian TV). You can imagine - this was a quite big thing for me!

Other
than the guitar, what are your other interests? How do you like to
spend your free time?
Andrea
Wild
In
my free time I like to do horse-riding and to spend time with my
family and friends, like all girls I also love to go for shopping and
dancing in the night. In addition to that I am a fan of Udinese
Calcio and the Green Bay Packers (American football).
