Melding the rich tonal beauty of classical guitar and viola Hilary Field and Gwen Franz offer an evocative palette of music that transcends generations and crosses musical boundaries. The lyrical beauty of this music spans from Brazil to Bach from the elegance of Baroque suites and sonatas to the colorful and exciting rhythms of Latin and Afro-Brazilian sambas choros and tangos. Airoso the new recording from Hilary Field and Gwen Franz captures the expressive sonority of viola and classical guitar with music by Piazzolla Machado Cumplido Telemann Bach and Marchelie as well as the world premiere recording of Jorge Morel's Homage to a Dance for solo guitar.
