CONCERTO D?ARANJUEZ

Initiated and produced by Andre Benichou, this disc is the fruit of the encounter between Pedro Ibanez, the great Spanish classical guitarist, and Vadim Avdeev, the director and arranger of Boris Alexandrov’s Red Army Choir. This is the fertile symbiosis between two universes, worlds in which the Iberian guitar — feline, sensual, and inscribed with the individuality and scalded sentiments of the Mediterranean tradition — combines with the power and rigour of a Russian choir evoking the collective soul of the great peoples of the north. Fire and ice! Patrick FReMEAUX & Laura BeNICHOU
