David Tanenbaum - Kernis, Piazzolla, Sierra: Double Echo - New Guitar Concertos from the Americas

This album of guitar concertos from the Americas features pieces composed for David Tanenbaum. Building on a tradition of prominent guitarists generating repertoire through new commissions, these works present the guitar in a variety of settings. Kernis�s concerto dips with ease into the world of pop music, whereas his Lullaby and Soliloquy are reflective, lyrical and romantic. Sierra�s concerto asserts a rhythmic and percussive character, while Piazzolla�s dark and sentimental double concerto is one of his least-known works.
