So, perhaps you can shed a little more light > on Vavilov? I could tell you that I know Mr.G (not his real name) since 1970. And he is a reliable source, a real scholar. All we know about VV is contained in 2 articles in Russian written by a Tartar guitarist Rustem Akhunov and an Israeli singer-guitarist Vladimir Zeev Geisel. AFAIK there were no English translations. I once owned the original 1972 LP recording of VV's "Early" music that includes AVE, but I gave it to Pat O'Brien years ago. He slill has it. It has been reissued on CD in recent years.
Here;s a video clip of 2 guitar pieces by A.Sychra. The 2nd is authentic, the 1st is by VV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zo0rTVtSLI RT > > All I know is Steven Mercurio's, the guy who is taking all the royalties > for > it, arrangement with the new-age chords.
