Composer: Caspar Joseph Mertz, Fernando Sor, Mauro Giuliani, Pietro Pettoletti
Artist: Peter Pieters, Micheline Dumortier

This delightful double-album features two historic “Terz” guitars, from the first half of the 19th century. The “Terz” guitar (read everything about it in the informative booklet) is smaller, with an intimate sound, and a higher register. It was much in use in the romantic era, and the repertoire features popular music from that time: Fantaisies and Divertissements of Fernando Sor, Rondo and Grand Pot-Pourri of Giuliani and works of Pettoletti and Caspar Joseph Mertz: all very pleasing, charming music, played with taste and delicacy by the Belgian Duo.
