Americana, Original Guitar Works and Arrangements of 12 Songs by Gershwin, Francesco Cipriano (Artist), John Duarte (Composer) (CD)
“Americana in classical music at its best with John Duarte's musical love letter to America ”
Label Description: John Duarte (1919-2004) was a great admirer of America's musical styles. Three types of music are characteristically American: the folk music of the settlers from the British Isles, jazz, with it's African American origins and the music of the American musical theatre. All of these are exemplified in the musical programme of this recording: folk music in Variations on an American Folk Song (Colorado Trail) and Appalachian Dreams, jazz and blues in Sua Cosa and Simply Blues, and music of the theatre in the arrangements of songs by George Gershwin.
