"The best of the established guitar duos have consisted of players who are/were either married or bloodrelated favourable conditions for inbuilt empathy. Now we have the Hungarian duo of the Katona twins possessed of the technique most others can only dream of. Their needlesharp unanimity of thought and attack is such that listening blind one might wonder how one player could possibly have so many digits. Rodrigo wrote only two works for two guitars the Tonadilla and (with orchestra) the Concierto madrigal. Both have been recorded several times but never better than here. In order to flesh out the all-Rodrigo programme the Katonas have made admirable arrangements of six piano pieces written between 1931 and 1981. These magnificently played versions for two guitars should keep Rodrigo aficionados happy enough. This is a stunning disc to which the orchestra and recording engineers have made fitting contributions." (Gramophone)
