Info for What I Saw in the Water

ChromaDuo, one of the best guitar duos in the world, has significantly expanded its repertoire through friendships with leading contemporary composers. The five works on this album, four of which were written especially for ChromaDuo, are all by renowned classical guitarists. Simone Iannarelli contributes a promenade to seven iconic paintings by artist Frida Kahlo, while writer Margaret Atwood provides the creative impetus for Leo Brouwer. Dušan Bogdanović has created a stylistic hybrid with his Sonata No. 2, Dale Kavanagh has written a sea ghost story and Sérgio Assad combines Brazilian and French elements in his moving homage to Roland Dyens.
