Info for Magellan's Playlist, Vol. 1: On Tour in China

The Athens Guitar Duo: Dusty Woodruff & Matthew Anderson. A child of the Renaissance, Ferdinand Magellan was the first explorer to cross the Pacific Ocean. This Album features composers of a myriad of nationalities with widely divergent musical styles that realize his voyage in a musical context.

The Athens Guitar Duo have opened up the world of the guitar to new audiences, offering them exquisitely crafted performances from composers both traditional and modern.

Magellan's Playlist, evokes the exotic and adventurous nature of its repertoire. It is a repertoire that could well have accompanied the explorer on his journeys had he lived in our digital age, his 'playlist' as it were, a cornucopia of musical delights full of intercultural variety and musical pleasure. Beginning with the music of Fazil Say, the selections on this recording cover a wide span of cultural differences and eras ranging from Say's easily accessible but revolutionary ideas through the British dryness of John Duarte and the sarcastic wit of Jean Francaix to the guitar virtuosity of Andrew York. Included as well is a bit of Chinese traditional music, a tribute to the country that hosts the Athens Guitar Duo on its tour of the People's Republic.
