about

Recorded Live, with no editing, in the Church of the Holy Spirit (Heligåndskirke), Copenhagen, July 21st, 1983.

Over the years hundreds of listeners have written to say that this particular CD is their most beloved recording. Over 100,000 copies of Archguitar Duo have been sold since it's release.

For over 30 years, people from around the world have written, called and emailed to tell us the music accompanied the birth of a child or a wedding processional. On several occasions we were honored to hear that a mortally ill person requested it in their last hours. Why? Perhaps it is the youthful, guileless love and enthusiasm documented in this unedited, live performance by two 22 year old musicians in a church in Copenhagen playing Bach on their crazy new instruments from midnight to dawn. We are particularly proud of this CD and continue to pursue its genuine spirit of discovery and joy.

A O R T A
by Vicky Chow

Christopher Cerrone's "Hoyt-Schermerhorn" is one of the finest pieces written since the turn of the century. Ms Chow displays an uncanny balance of emotional depth and structural clarity. Amazing! Peter Blanchette, archguitar
