*WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING OF THIS ARRANGEMENT
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 has arranged the much-loved Oblivion for guitar, while Leo Brouwer's arrangement of La muerte del ángel is full of vivacity and colour. Cinco piezas was Piazzolla's first work for classical guitar and embraces peasant dances and complex cross-rhythms alike; the Tango-Études, originally for flute, shows the guitar's range and versatility in Manuel Barrueco's idiomatic arrangement.
“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
“A must buy for all guitar players.”Musical Opinion (print)
