These duets are wonderful in every way! Mr Barranco has chosen excellent musical selections which are so playable and attractive for the horn. He has adhered to the original musical notation as much as possible while ensuring beautiful, fluid, interesting and eminently playable lines for both players. The range is excellent - neither too high nor too low - and the lines are close enough to each other to make a very pleasant and satisfying playing and listening experience. The phrasing and articulations work so well for horn players but are also pleasing to the listener who may know the original work.
