Virtuoso Duets

“Nothing is more beautiful than a guitar, save perhaps two,” wrote Chopin. David Brandon joins Christopher Parkening on this collection of the most famous of guitar duets that span the repertoire from the Renaissance to the Twentieth Century, featuring Evening Dance, written in 1989 especially for Christopher and David.
