Groningen Guitar Duo, The John McLaughlin Suites

The John McLaughlin Suites by the Groningen Guitar Duo are stunningly beautiful classical guitar interpretations of John McLaughlin pieces arranged into 3 suites and covering material from The Translators, John McLaughlin Trio and Mahavishnu Orchestra mkI eras. This is to JM what Time Remembered was to Bill Evans. Fascinating classical tones and tempos reshape Birds Of Fire and Lila's Dance into more spacious complex statements than discernable from the sonic mass of the originals, whilst virtuoso playing heightens the sublime harmonies to be heard in The Wall Will Fall and an exquisite version of Guardian Angels. The warmth and beauty of JM's compositions have never been made more apparent than on this album.
