Album Notes

Featuring Nathan Granner of the Sony Classical recording artists, "The American Tenors."

This recording features the works of Franz Shubert,
Herni Duparc, Claudio Monteverdi, Mauro Giuliani and Reynaldo Hahn.

Beau and Nathan first met at the Kansas City Conservatory of music where they kept each other highly amused during a semester of music history class. Through their academic experience and countless mutual musical engagements since then, they have become close friends and musical compatriots. Between each other's various professional activities the two play together in cafés, concerts, and tango dances in and around their home of Kansas City usually with other musicians of similar mindset. When the idea of "We really need to record some stuff." finally became urgent enough to enact upon, they had a large, diverse repertoire to chose from. Beau and Nathan live across the street from each other and consider each other very close friends, so the fact that Franz Schubert and Mauro Giuliani were also close friends became the principal inspiration for the programming of this recording.
