New CD For Sale: "First Impressions" by The Minor Duo (Latin-American, European & Baroque Music for Two Guitars)

Long-time SCGS members, Janet Fitzpatrick & Sue Hull, (The Minor Duo) have been playing together for the best part of 15 years. By rarely playing solo, their standard is a genuine step above the average amateur pairing. Last year they decided it was time to create a permanent record of some of the pieces they most love playing and embarked on a project to create a CD. After a great deal of work, here it is.

"First impressions" by the Minor Duo contains 14 tracks of some of the most beautiful music played on two classical guitars. Works by Albéniz, Vivaldi, Montes, Bach, MD Pujol, Couperin, Tesar and Satie make this a "must-buy" CD for anyone looking to relax to well-played, easy-to-listen-to guitar music, and certainly a must for all their friends.

For a review of the CD, please click here.

Price: £10 (All proceeds to charity). To buy, either come along to one of our meetings or visit their website which is: www.theminorduo.com. (Click the link to go straight there). Many thanks for your support!
