About

Widely regarded as one of the world’s leading guitar ensembles, the Eden Stell Duo’s chameleon-like ability to communicate in a multitude of musical styles makes them a constantly evolving entity with a unique creative voice. In this album, they present a stunning selection of ten of Domenico Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas, showing the fire, elegance, and wit that make Scarlatti a favourite of harpsichordists, pianists, and guitarists alike. These arrangements for guitar duo by Mark Eden, Sergio Abreu, and Stephen Dodgson make superb use of the guitar's warmth and subtlety of touch, which, together with the understated virtuosity of the Eden Stell Duo, brings a tangible immediacy of sound and colour to the listener.

Internationally renowned for their dynamism, innovation and breathtaking virtuosity the Eden Stell Guitar Duo have ‘breathed new life into the world of the classical guitar’ (Rotterdam Dagblad). The duo were the first guitarists since Julian Bream to be Editor’s Choice in Gramophone magazine with their ‘landmark recording’ of works by Stephen Dodgson. They have recorded seven CDs to date on BSG, Hännsler Classics, and Docker labels, and are dedicatees of new works by internationally acclaimed composers Stephen Dodgson, Adam Gorb, Dušan Bogdanović, Gary Ryan, and Johannes Möller. They are also artistic directors of the Winchester Guitar Festival and the hugely popular World Youth Guitar Festival, the only classical guitar festival in the world dedicated to young players with over 200 students attending from over fifteen countries as far afield as the USA and Australia.
