Hedevotes most of his time as a recitalist on international concert tours and regularly appears as a soloist with numerousmajor orchestras.Early developmentBorn on 17 December 1944 in São Paulo, Brazil, Barbosa-Lima grew up in the Brooklyn district of the city. Hestates that he began playing the guitar aged seven.[1]Barbosa-Lima recalls that his father, Manuel Carlos, had hired a music instructor to teach him how to play theguitar.[2]The guitar lessons were then transferred from the father to the son, and the child became known in theneighborhood as a prodigy. After two years of lessons with Benedito Moreira, the young man was introduced toBrazilian guitarist composer Luiz Bonfá, at the time one of the leading musicians in the field.[3]Under the strongrecommendation of Bonfa, the young Carlos was directed to the father of the classical guitar school of Brasil, IsaiasSavio.[4]At the behest of family friends and musical acquaintances, and with the firm support of his parents, theyoung Carlos publicly debuted at a solo concert hall appearance (in São Paulo) in November, 1957, when he wastwelve years old.[5]The immediate rave reviews and enthusiastic public acclaim led to a subsequent invitation for the young guitarist tomake his concert debut in Rio de Janeiro, at the time capital of Brazil, preceded by his television debut on a varietystyle TV show that featured young, up and coming Artists. This was March 1958, Barbosa-Lima was thirteen.[6]These two public appearances led to a recording contract with the then up and coming Chantecler label, initially partCarlos Barbosa-Limaof the RCA Brasil group. The LP recording, called "Dez Dedos Magicos Num Violão De Ouro" was released in June1958, when he was 13 years old.[7]In 1960 Barbosa-Lima began life on the road, which continues extensively till this day. Trips to Montevideo,Uruguay, and eastern Brazil became common place.[8]In 1967 at the age of 23, Barbosa-Lima made his Americandebut in Washington, D.C.[9]Excellent reviews followed and Barbosa-Lima's concert career expanded across theUnited States, Central and South America.[10]Barbosa-Lima was now making his own arrangements for guitar andin 1964 he released an album of arrangements by the popular Brazilian songwriter, Catullo. Close friends ofBarbosa-Lima at the time heard these arrangements and encouraged the guitarist to continue on the path of arrangingfor the guitar.[11]2Professional lifeIn 1967 Barbosa-Lima gave his New York debut at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall (then known as CarnegieRecital Hall).[12]This concert was met once again with excellent reviews and truly launched the career of the youngguitarist onto the global concert stage where he remains to this day.[13]1968 marked the year that Barbosa-Limawould travel to Madrid, Spain, to play for Andrés Segovia.[14]Upon his return from Spain in 1970 Barbosa-Limagave a concert in New York's Town Hall. At the conclusion of this concert Barbosa-Lima was approached by HaroldShaw and Shaw Concerts who offered Barbosa-Lima a steady stream of concert dates within the United States.[15]With the heavy concert schedule and Master classes now available to him through Shaw Concerts Barbosa-Limatook a teaching position at Carnegie Mellon University (1974–1978). It was during this time that Barbosa-Lima'sreputation as a world class guitarist began to blossom and composers began writing works for him. One veryimportant composer of this time was Alberto Ginastera who composed theSonata for guitar, op. 47forBarbosa-Lima.[16]The later end of the decade (1977) saw Barbosa-Lima perform Francisco Mignone'sConcerto forGuitar and Orchestraat the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.[17]As the 1980s began Barbosa-Lima moved to New York City (1981) and took a teaching post at the ManhattanSchool of Music. Once in New York Barbosa-Lima began to perform with Jazz guitarist Charlie Byrd.[18]Uponhearing Barbosa-Lima's arrangements Mr. Byrd immediately arranged for Barbosa-Lima to meet and perform forCarl Jefferson (the owner of Concord records). Carl Jefferson signed Barbosa-Lima and eleven recordings were tofollow on the Concord Jazz label.[19]In 1982 Barbosa-Lima made frequent contact with fellow Brazilian, AntônioCarlos Jobim, one of the world's most popular composers of all time. Barbosa-Lima would often meet him at Jobim'supper east side apartment in New York City for impromptu jam sessions. It was out of these sessions that came therecordingCarlos Barbosa-Lima plays Music by Antônio Carlos Jobim and George Gershwina crossover CD beforethe word was popular.[20]Jobim was immediately impressed with Barbosa-Lima's arranging technique for guitarwhich Barbosa-Lima describes as "multi-linear" basically meaning several voices moving at once like classicalguitar technique. At the time of their meetings Jobim was more familiar with the Brazilian guitar technique whichutilized a "block chord" technique as Jobim himself used.[21]"...Barbosa-Lima brings an ear attuned to counterpointand technique that gives each independent line its own voice. His transcriptions find and define every moving part,in bossa novas and countermelodies together as he does in Gershwin, he sounds like a team of guitarists".[22]And inkeeping with Barbosa-Lima's multi-linear technique the Cuban composer Leo Brouwer has said; "...whenunknowingly I [Brouwer] walked by a hotel room and heard guitar music I thought I was listening to a guitar duoand then suddenly recognized the music and realized it was Barbosa-Lima playing solo. If I weren't a guitar playerand guitar composer who noticed a mistake by one of the violinists during a rehearsal of a seventy-member orchestramy confusion could be justified. I believe that Carlos Barbosa-Lima is a genius of transcriptions of Latin Americanmusic for guitar."[23]Currently Barbosa-Lima records for the Zoho music record label and has released five recordings under this labeland the direction of Barbosa-Lima's recordings as well as his concert programing have a definite Latin Americanconcept.[24]In April, 2010 Barbosa-Lima celebrated the release of his fiftieth recording release,Merengue(ZohoCarlos Barbosa-LimaMusic, CD 200911) at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.3RecordingsCarlos Barbosa-Lima's unique style integrates classical, Latin, and jazz. His discography extends over forty releasesand over fifty years. He currently records for the Zoho label.[25]Due to his first recording (age 13) having been made in 1958,[26]when the recording industry had not yet gonedigital, the initial recordings were all on analog media, primarily 45rpm, 78 rpm, and LP disks, along with cassettetapes. A long-term relationship with Concord Records developed in 1982,[27]and it began on analog media, takingthe recording process into the digital age with CDs. When Concord changed its focus, Barbosa-Lima developed anew partnership with the New York based Zoho label in 2001 beginning with his recordingFrenesi(Zoho200408).[28]Teaching• Manhattan School of Music• Juilliard School of Music• Richard Miller-PhD thesis on "Choros" (Catholic University - Washington, D.C.)• Royal College of Music, London UK• Regularly conducts master classes worldwide• Christopher Coats-MA thesis on Barbosa-Lima's transcribing and arranging for guitar "Keyboard Translations byGuitarist Carlos Barbosa-Lima: The Evolution from Transcriber to Arranger" (University of Hawaii at Manoa,Honolulu. )2003.• Adjudication international guitar compositions: 1981 = Paris (France), 1992 = NewOrleans (USA), 1996 = NewYork "Naumburg", 2001 = Mexico City (Mexico), 2002 = Alessandria (Italy), 2009 = Almeria (Spain).RepertoireMusic for Guitar and Orchestra, Various Categories:•••••••••••••••••Concierto de Aranjuez Joaquín RodrigoFantasia para un gentilhombre Joaquín RodrigoConcierto Antillano Ernesto CorderoConcierto del Sur Manuel PonceConcerto no. 1 Mario Castelnuovo-TedescoCapricio Diabolico Mario Castelnuovo-TedescoConcertino no. 1 Guido SantórsolaConcertino no. 2 (dedicated to CBL) Guido SantórsolaConcerto Heitor Villa-LobosA Lenda do Caboclo (arr. by ByronYasui) Heitor Villa-LobosConcerto (dedicated to CBL) Francisco MignoneConcerto de Copacabana Radanies GnattaliPiccola Arieta no. 2 Byron YasuiRhapsody in Blue (arr. by CBL ) George GershwinConcierto en modo frigio Eduardo GrauEloise and Abelard (dedicated to CBL) Bobby ScottClio (dedicated to CBL) Bobby Scott• From Yesterday to Penny Lane (arr.
