The most brilliant guitar duo playing I have yet heard.

"The Assad Brothers are prepared, once again, to dazzle and move their audience. From the opening notes of Rodrigo's energetic, and often intensely dissonant, Tonadilla-Allegro ma non troppo to Gnattali's intimate and charming Brasiliana number 8-Valsa, this duo has the will and the means to provide listeners with some of the most poignant playing in the entire repetoire of guitar recordings. The brilliance of the Assad's performance accompanies the infectious theme from Piazzola's Escolaso perfectly. The casual execution of Gnattali's highly syncopated Corta jaca is an impressive yet subtle example of the closeness of this musical unit. This recording is proof that the Assad brothers belong in a musical class all their own."
