Brasil Guitar Duo plays Suite op.142 by Drozd

An excellent recording of Polish composer Gerard Drozd’s Suite op.142 by the Brasil Guitar Duo. The music is quite earthy and full sounding but well balanced and not muddy. Clocking in at over 17mins this is a significant work. Love the last two movements that have a South American feel but with a language that has bite and well placed dissonance. Very interesting with character ranging from playful to sarcastic!
