On its new GENUIN CD, the Lux Nova Duo takes up the cause of composer Leo Brouwer. The Cuban old master is well known to guitarists and lovers of guitar music but deserves more attention for his gripping, pulsating and multifaceted music! In the unusual line-up with Lydia Schmidl on accordion and Jorge Paz Verastegui on guitar, the Lux Nova Duo presents smaller and more extensive works by Brouwer, such as his Souvenir de Liège, the expansive Triptico concertante or the centuries-spanning Folía a través de los siglos. Through the subtle playing of the Lux Nova Duo, we discover Brouwer's stylistic range, which extends from folkloristic impressions to new, advanced musical language.

American Record Guide
"Treat yourself to a unique recording
played by two fine artists who are unafraid to take something new and run with it. You won’t want to take even a short break while listening to this." Review by Jim McCutcheon, March/April 2023 issue

"Und auch hier verliert das Werk nicht etwa durch die Reduzierung an Instrumenten, sondern gewinnt vielmehr durch das wunderbare Spiel des Lux Nova Duo." Read the whole review from 22.09.22 here on the website of Klassik Heute.
