The Assad brothers, Sergio and Eduardo, are among the greatest guitar duos of our time, and Sergio is increasingly active and increasingly sophisticated as a composer. Thanos Mitsalas is a Greek guitarist…an impressive one.
3 Divertimentos…is lyric, even bucolic, and quite delightful.The most interesting piece here is the sonata. It is also the most abstract and least popular-influenced, and it shows some of what Assad can do when he aims a bit higher.
Mitsalis’s playing is excellent. He has a fine feel for Assad’s idiom in these pieces, and his technical command and sense of invention and expression are impressive…this is an excellent introduction if you are not familiar with his music. © 2012 American Record Guide Read complete review on American Record Guide online
