They have been described as "breathtaking" (Canberra Critics Circle), and praised for their "dazzling guitar playing" (ArtsHub). Alchemy, their debut recording, takes us on a journey through history and around the world, through beloved works by Debussy, Rameau, Piazzolla, AlbeÁniz, Fallaand Granados. The album also features the acclaimed Three Duets by the late Australian guitarist and composer Phillip Houghton Üincluding Alchemy, the first piece that Andrew and Ariel performed as a duo and the piece after which this album is named.
