I wrote a review of a performance from the Hungarian duo back in 2019,and it was good to see them again after such a long interval. This time the theme, as the tile iplies, was primarily Spanish, with works from composers from Iberia, or other strongly influended by the traditions of Spain. Many of thw works not intended for two guitars, so these were very much the siblings' own interpretations and arrangements.
Amusing and informative introductions, if a little slow, set the scene, each taking turns in doing so. Incredible virtuoso guitar playing, with melodies constatnly swapping from one pair of hands to the other.
The evening ended with their version of the Beatles tune Come Together, a tribute to their adopted home city of Liverpool. The evening was refreshing classical change to our more usual musical fare, with crispness and exactitude, played with passion.
