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
