About the DUO Goni-Perretta Antigoni Goni and Eleonora Perretta ’s musical collaboration is a harmonious symbiosis of different generations, cultural backgrounds and artistic sensibilities. What began as a teacher-student relationship at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel (KCB) soon developed into a creative artistic partnership fuelled by mutual respect, admiration, artistic exchange and a shared passion for the classical guitar’s boundless expressive potential. It finds its first recorded expression in the works of Dušan Bogdanović, a composer whose bold, genre-transcending music aligns perfectly with the artists’ approach, with their collaboration described by the composer as ‘splendid and glorious’.

Recommended guitar works
‘[The album] opens with Scenes from West Side Story , and one is immediately aware of the adherence of the arrangements to the original score and their creative scoring for guitar trio (by trio member Vandenbemden) as well as the pristine recording quality, aided, of course by the technical skills of these excellent musicians.’ – American Record Guide
‘The often-contrapuntal Musica para dos guitarras by Carlos Farinas shows the strong connection between the performers with effective, abrupt dynamic shifts and contrasting moods. Concluding the programme are “Los Guitarristas” (2024) by Eleonora Coloma Casaula and Ludoteca by Florencia Novoa, clearly the most obtuse pieces on the recording, requiring a lot of work on the part of the performers to deliver this complex music.’ – American Record Guide ‘The arrangements themselves are beautiful, maximising the use of various effects such as palm muting and artificial harmonics to evoke not just the sounds of the orchestra but the sights and smells of the Spanish campo. The performances, too, are beautiful…’ – Gramophone
