The second CD by the DCD travels through the regions of South America
with special stops in Argentina and Brazil. It was a winner at the
2002 Detroit
Music Awards for "Outstanding Classical Album." The
CD of duets for 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 WDET. 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."
