Well, guess what. No parts exist in these ensembles for classical guitar. So why would they audition classical guitarists? My guess is they auditioned him mistakenly thinking he was a tenor. (I never read the article, BTW, but so what. Feel free to pull the straw man.) Whatever he auditioned for, they should have realized early on he was not delivering what they were after. > To say he could "play viola" doesn't even deserve a comment. Oh, sure it does. Because a countertenor asking to sing a soprano part or alto part is no different than a guitarist claiming to be able to playa viola part. "I can read the clef, I can match the tone really closely. Why not let me?" Would YOU allow a classical guitarist to play viola parts in an All-State orchestra? After all, you'd never hear his unique tone diference in the amalgamation of all the players.
