"With a masterful command of color and tenuto (his reading of the Alla Cubana from the Bagatelles is magic), Duruöz breathes life into an extremely dense program. His disc of Contemporary music overflows with color from the bouncy brightness of his Allegro from the Walton Bagatelles to the understated cool of the Pink Floyd meets Steve Reich gem that is Nicky Hind's Crossings for Guitar and Live Electronics." - Guitarra Magazine (USA) |
"Throughout this disc, Duruöz's versatility is amply demonstrated, as his laudable proselytising on behalf of contemporary music." - Classical Guitar (UK)
"Duruöz has a keen understanding for contemporary music." - Gendai Guitar (JAPAN) |

Price: $15 |
"The originality of this recording lies in the paradoxical blending of unity and variety. Mr. Duruöz uses a whole range of sounds, colors, techniques and styles, exploiting to full extent the immense diversity of contemporary music for guitar. The rich interplay of contrast between the different works creates a magically captivating atmosphere." - Anouk Spicher-Thommen, music critic | ||
