A&Z is the highly anticipated studio album by guitar duo Aniello Desiderio and Zoran Dukić, two internationally acclaimed figures of the classical guitar. Bringing together decades of artistic excellence and a deep musical partnership, the duo presents a bold and compelling program featuring some of the most iconic works in the repertoire.
At the center of the album is a striking two-guitar version of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Chaconne, based on Ferruccio Busoni’s legendary piano adaptation. This ambitious “adaptation of an adaptation,” arranged by Ulrich Stracke, captures the monumental scale, richness, and dramatic intensity of this masterpiece, reimagined through the expressive power of the guitar duo.
The program also features elegant sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti and Domenico Cimarosa, presented in refined arrangements for two guitars that highlight rhythmic vitality, lyricism, and stylistic brilliance.
Moving into the 20th century, the album includes three movements from Astor Piazzolla’s Suite Troileana, arranged by Sérgio Assad, alongside the vibrant Tonadilla by Joaquín Rodrigo, a cornerstone of the guitar duo repertoire.
A&Z is a must-have release for classical guitar enthusiasts — a recording that combines iconic music, world-class performances, and the unmistakable artistry of two masters of the instrument.
