Astor Piazzolla: Music for Guitar
Astor Piazzolla's introduction of new rhythms and harmonies into the tango won him worldwide fame. Tango Suite, for two guitars, is one of the finest duo works in the repertoire, offering fireworks and percussive effects as well as exquisite melancholy.
“Yuri Liberzon and his guest partner Piotr Pakhomkin, both superb technicians, make the most of the delightfully dense patterns of the score.”Peter Burwasser, Fanfare

Konstantin Vassiliev: Guitar Works
Konstantin Vassiliev's music synthesises several different styles including jazz, Russian folk music and contemporary Western traditions.
“There are some fascinating and innovative percussive effects in the bossa nova-inspired Hommage à Tom Jobim, and some lovely melodic writing in numbers like Cavatina and Rose in the Snow.”Terry Robbins, The WholeNote

October 2021 · Four days in the red church with Patrick O’Connell
3 Violin Sonatas
“If I ever played a different instrument it would be the violin.” Playing Bach’s music on guitar requires creative adaptation — taking into account the particularities of the instrument and employing its best qualities, while staying true to the composer’s intention. All three sonatas are transcribed in their original keys by Manuel Barrueco.
“Throughout, Liberzon proves to be a sturdy, skilled, and confident navigator through this hour-plus of intricate and emotional music.”Blair Jackson, Classical Guitar Magazine

March 2019 and February 2020 · Two weekends in church with Nahuel Bronzini
¡Acentuado!
¡Acentuado! means “accented” in Spanish — a fundamental element of tango music and dance. Astor Piazzolla dedicated his life to the tango, transforming the traditional form into a new style, nuevo tango, incorporating elements of both classical and jazz.
“one gets the sense that there is nothing Yuri cannot do on the guitar. His virtuosity is understated and elegant and despite the way it serves the music, it is noticeably impressive.”Leo Garcia, Six String Journal

June and December 2016 · Histoire du Tango with flutist Josué Casillas, then the études alone
