Rodney Waterman (flauta dulce) & Doug de Vries (guitarra)

Original, delicada y virtuosista relectura de composicioenes de los maestros contemporáneos brasileños Hermeto Pascoal y Egberto Gismonti a cargo de los dos prestigiosos instrumentistas australianos residentes en Melbourne.

El peculiar sonido de la flauta dulce trae resonancias medievales y aproxima los sofisticados temas a los ritmos tradicionales que los inspiraron.

"... Rodney Waterman elevates recorder music to heavenly and stratospheric levels of artistry, and Doug de Vries follows him up there on equal artistic footing on nylon-string guitar. The particular timbre of the recorder occasionally lends this duet music a medieval and minstrel-like feel ("El Noi de la Mare", "Recercada Primero"), but the raging virtuosity and deftness of speed of these two players can also result in a synergistic blastfurnace of sound out of proportion to the sparse tonal qualities of each instrument alone, most notably on "Ade", "Salvador" and "Frevo". It's not surprising, considering the fiery passion that they evoke, that these last two pieces are Egberto Gismonti compositions as are six of the total 21 tracks on this collection, perhaps qualifying the CD as a Gismonti tribute. Many of the other fifteen tracks also capture a potent Brasilian spirit, reflecting de Vries' interest in the genre. Though not well-known internationally, de Vries is esteemed in his native Australia, where in 1991 he won The Australian Jazz and Blues Award for "Best Jazz Guitarist". Listen to the samba flavored beauty that he coaxes solo from his guitar on "Chorinho Toccatina", technique and composition probably second only to Gismonti himself. Yeah, this music is at first glance esoteric and unique, but even better... it's brilliant." (Alan Fark, Minor7th Webzine USA, Junio 2001)
