New CD: Maracaípe

[Rannveig]

TONAR MUSIC© is proud to present the release of MARACAÍPE with the
Beijing Guitar Duo, composed of the extraordinarily gifted young
guitarists Meng Su and Yameng Wang.

The CD draws its name from one of the pieces on the recording,
"Maracaípe," a guitar duo Sergio Assad wrote for and dedicated to the
Beijing Guitar Duo. Other music for two guitars is "Suite Retratos"
by Radamés Gnattali and "Jobiniana No. 1" also by Assad. This CD also
contains solo guitar music: Sergio Assad’s "Sonata" is performed by
Yameng Wang, and "Aquarelle" and "Remembrance" is performed by Meng
Su.

Winners of many international guitar competitions, Meng Su and Yameng
Wang first met while studying at the Central Conservatory in Beijing,
China where they studied with Professon Chen Zhi. They traveled
across the globe to continue their advanced studies with GRAMMY
nominated guitarist Manuel Barrueco at the Peabody Conservatory,
under
whose guidance the duo was formally established and this recording
was
conceived. Manuel Barrueco is the executive producer on this
recording
while Sergio Assad provided the text on the music. For more
