About
This album invites you to travel from Spain to South America in the company of the greatest composers the countries of the region have produced: next to Spanish folk songs reshaped by Falla, compositions by Casals, Granados, Montsalvatge, and the beloved Ária from the Bachiana brasileira by Brazil’s Villa-Lobos, an Argentine tango by Piazzolla is paired with its Spanish counterpart by Albéniz (though his is in the form of a habanera). A wide-ranging programme which brings together two virtuoso soloists... who are not about to part.

Awards and reviews
July 2020
Playing on a glorious-sounding instrument made by Patrick Robin only last year, Zimmermann can occasionally sound a touch self-conscious in the more pointed phrasing. Perianes, however, brings to everything just the right rhythmic flexibility, supportive of Zimmermann but never merely receding into he background…this is a disc that’s easy to enjoy.
Nov/Dec 2020
...this highly enjoyable recital is sensitively and lovingly played, melodic, and utterly beguiling.
July 2020
Tabea Zimmermann makes quite an entrance with the programme-opener on ‘Cantilena’, Piazzolla’s Le Grand Tango. Not because it’s an explosive bang, but because of the velvety warmth and soft clarity of her tone, even when she climbs into her upper registers and really starts slicing through the air…Perianes meanwhile is both a selflessly sympathetic partner to Zimmermann and effortlessly under the music’s skin.
