The second CD by the DCD travels through South America with special
stops in Argentina and Brazil. It was the winner of 2002's Detroit
Music Awards for "Outstanding Classical Album." The
CD of duets for classical guitar and flute highlight two of the most
important works of the twentieth century for this instrumentation,
"The History of Tango" by Astor Piazzolla, and "Suite
Buenos Aires" by Maximo Diego Pujol. Snapshots has been played
on radio stations across North America and the UK, and can regularly
be heard on the CBC and WRCJ. Recorded at the
Tempermill in Ferndale, Michigan during July, 2001.
"What makes the music sing is the Dearing's
lovely tonal blend, secure phrasing and the way Steven's clean articulation
and steady rhythm lays the foundation for Abha's warm approach to
melody."
