Harry Sacksioni (born 23 October 1950 in Amsterdam) is a composer and guitar virtuoso of Dutch origin. The peak of his fame was during the 1970s to 1990s. Famous works of this period include ''Meta Sequoia'', ''Vensters'' and ''Elixer'', along with re-arrangements of existing pieces, such as ''Anji'' (Davy Graham), ''Scarborough Fair'' (arr. Paul Simon) and I Wish (Stevie Wonder). Sacksioni's work is mainly instrumental, although some tracks during the 1980s provided guitar accompaniments to vocals provided by himself and Raymond van het Groenewoud. Sacksioni's work is not commercially motivated, and as a result, he is not often featured in the mainstream media. His records appear under an independent, privately owned label Katowee (from: cutaway, a guitar construction property) as a protest against the high prices of CDs. Sacksioni uses various guitars during a live concert. When touring, he chooses instruments from his collection of acoustic and electric guitars to suit the venue and programme. He plays both 6 and 12-string guitars, both acoustic and electric. An unusual guitar of his is a hand-built double guitar: one half is electric and the other half is acoustic. Sacksioni has been living in Lienden, Netherlands, since the 1980s. Before that, he lived in Amsterdam. Harry Sacksioni was made a Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau, decorated by Klaas Tammes, mayor of the municipality of Buren, during a concert in the Agnietenhof in Tiel on 9 May 2009. On his 60th birthday, Harry was given a tribute concert by a number of musical colleagues in the famous Amsterdam venue Carré. ==Major collaborations== *Frank Boeijen *Raymond van het Groenewoud *Digmon Roovers *Herman van Veen *Erik van der Wurff 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harry Sacksioni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
