Last night we “Amadeus Guitar Duo” performed in San Francisco and it was a lovely night and we received a nice review. Here is an excerpt of the review about my new composition called “Impressions”
More interesting, however, was Kavanagh’s solo performance of her recently-completed Impressions, a short suite of two movements, each honoring a major figure from her knowledge of past guitar repertoire. The first of these was the English composer Malcolm Arnold. (As a personal aside, I should note that I was first exposed to Arnold’s guitar concerto while working at the campus radio station at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and I came to know this concerto well before my first encounter with Joaquin Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez.”) The second was the Paraguayan guitarist and composer Agustín Barrios. This was highly personal music well served by the Kavanagh’s focused execution.

Gala Night CD
February 5th, 2016
Our NAXOS: “GALA NIGHT ” CD came out in December , 2015 with Thomas Kirchhoff, Christian Gruber and Peter Maklar and myself, Dale Kavanagh
Here is our first critic:
Two of the world´s best guitar duos have come together to record a CD of music from 4 centuries. We had a high expectation for this CD and were not disappointed.
The top duos play a collection of Praetorius “Dances”, Borodin´s “Steps of Central Asia”, and the “Fandango” by Bocherini. The demonstrated great ensemble playing and showing the wonderful sound variety that can be produced on the guitar, like a miniorchestra.
The Amadeus Duo gave a brilliant intrepretation of Giulliani´s “Variationi Concertanti” as did Gruber & Maklar with da Falla´s “La vida Brèvé”. The 3 solo pieces composed and performed by Dale Kavanagh were both lively and virtuos, rounding up the program.
Every title. every movement, every phrase and every note on this CD is successful, plus the production is immaculate. This CD I can recommend for both guitar connoisseurs, and enthusiasts and guarantee a genuinely enjoyable listening experience.
