The Commander-In-Chief releases secretive performance!

Norwegian 7string guitarist/singer/songwriter The Commander-In-Chief has released the result of her secret cooperation with Norwegian classical guitar virtuoso, Thomas Valeur.
It is the first ever professional guitar recording of P. Sarasate's masterpiece for violin virtuosos, the entire Zigeunerweisen Op. 20 or "Gypsy Airs". It is also, as far as we know, the first guitar duel between a classical and a metal guitarist.

The music was recorded at Modern World Studios in Cotswolds, England. It was produced and mixed by James Mottershead, who has worked on numerous albums that has charted in the UK. It was mastered by Oscar and Grammy nominated Stephen Marsh (Life of Pi, Megadeth).

"Everything you hear on this recording is a performance. There are no studio tricks of any kind. They played it until we got the perfect takes". - James Mottershead
