"... flamboyant and at times downright rambunctious... pack your dancing shoes and fasten your seatbelts." – The WholeNote
"The recording is full and rich, capturing the two pianos nicely, especially the rich bass registers. Five out of five." – CBC, Sound Advice
Following the success of their first Marquis recording, Romantic Dances, Duo Turgeon presents Latin American Journey, a unique and compelling collection of classical piano works of Latin-America, featuring music by Mignone, Guastavino, Piazzola, Pinto, Ponce and Lecuona.
The music draws on Latin-American folk culture for harmony and rhythm as well as, perhaps more significantly, African influences. This is a musical journey of passion, exquisite harmonies and dance impulses through Argentina, Brazil, Cuba and Mexico. Catalog: MAR 303
