Bluewen Duo

Description:

“Blue Ven Duo,” formed by Sebastian Robles of Canada and Shi Jiangxiao of China, is a guitar duo that won first place at the 2025 GFA International Ensemble Competition. The collection featured here consists of works originally written for piano or organ that they have arranged themselves for two guitars, remaining faithful to the musical essence and beauty of the original compositions. Featuring Schumanns endearing Scnes dEnfance, Schuberts works radiating a fresh charm, Francks pieces with a lighter texture than the originals, and Rachmaninoffs works displaying delicately shifting moods, the sound of these two guitars brings new color and fresh surprises to these familiar masterpieces.Naxos Japan
