Miyabi Duo - Timothy Bowers: Guitar Music, Vol. 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

About this product
The guitar is traditionally the preserve of the Spanish. But Timothy Bowers, born near London in 1954, has found a rather more English side to the instrument understated emotion expressed in an accessible language, unforced elegance, crisp and clean textures and a degree of reserve; extending it's frame of reference, much of this music has the unhurried delicacy of a Japanese water-colour and the hint of folksong that comes with the guitar itself. This album, the first dedicated to Bowers' guitar music, has the stamp of authenticity it is performed by musicians with whom he has worked closely, and the recording was supervised by the composer himself.

![Duo Favori - Tonstucke: Complete Works for 2 Guitars - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/036e19b5-a2bb-4af0-9f35-d0114bf80d91.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
... The Duo Favori masterfully opens the listener's ears for the gentle nuances and colors of Mertz's character pieces. This CD can be recommended to music nerds, guitar specialists and romantics alike, and without reservation. (HiFiVision) InchDuo Favori give US the most complete look yet at romantic virtuoso Johann Kaspar Mertz's guitar duets (two opera pastiches were omitted). New to disc are two wonderful pieces 'Der Ball', a program of sorts that leads the listener via waltz and polka through an abridged dance ball, and the gorgeously arpeggiated 'Wasserfahrt am Traunsee' (...) What Duo Favori have is beautiful sound. Recorded with valve microphones (unlike the modern transistor kind), the guitars spill over in warmth and telling detail. All guitar recordings should sound so rich. Combined with solid playing and several premieres, Duo Favori have a disc that can't go wrong.Inch (American Record Guide)
