Nicole Peña Comas, Damien Lancelle - Amoroso (2022)

One can hardly imagine a more heart-warming sound than the soft voice of a cello accompanied by the sweet tones of a Spanish guitar.In fact, these two instruments combine in such an amorous way that Nicole Pena Comas and Damien Lancelle decided they required a whole album to express the different facets of love: passionate, tender or playful, the burning desire of new lovers and the selfless care for friends and family. Masterpieces by great composers such as Tchaikovsky, Liszt or Schumann as well as gems by forgotten names such as August Nolck or Amy Beach, all express love and closeness and were selected and arranged for cello and guitar for that very reason.
