Brasil Guitar Duo/Amando - Leo Brouwer: The Book of Signs / Paulo Bellinati: Concerto Caboclo

These two concertos show the increasing importance of the guitar duo on the world�s concert stages. Leo Brouwer, one of the foremost Latin American composers, has written many admired guitar concertos but The Book of Signs is his first for two guitars, a double concerto of great virtuosity, with a majestic, songful theme in its central movement. A crucial figure in the global promotion of Brazilian rhythms for the guitar, Paulo Bellinati deploys luxurious harmonies and brilliantly effective techniques to pay tribute to the country music of S�o Paulo State in Concerto Caboclo.
