Notes and Editorial Reviews
Latin America has changed the way we listen to guitar. Ricardo Rubio mines the wealth of this cultural connection on this collection of dances. Performed as duets with Marisa Rostom, the works are intimate, faithful interpretations of Latin American classics.
Astor Piazzolla is the godfather of the tango and his piano compositions have inspired many arrangements. The two guitars make for a sweet and delicate version: the instruments dance together rather than providing music to which others dance.

Includes work(s) by Mariano Mores. Soloists: Ricardo Rubio, Marisa Rostom. Read less
