John Zorn – Seven Sonnets [CD]

Originally brought together in September 2015 to perform the Zorn Bagatelles, Julian Lage and Gyan Riley have become two of Zorns most trusted and soulful musical collaborators, having recorded over a dozen CDs of his compositions for acoustic guitars both in duo and in trio with Bill Frisell. Seven Sonnets is their sixth CD together as a duo and the music is a lovely series of compositions referencing early music, minimalism, contemporary classical, soundtracks, folk, jazz, and more. Two of the worlds most accomplished and acclaimed guitar virtuosos perform a beautiful book of original music inspired by the Sonnets of William Shakespeare. Volume One of Zorns musical Sonnets contains some of his loveliest and most intimate creations.1. Sonnet I 2. Sonnet II 3. Sonnet III 4. Sonnet IV 5. Sonnet V 6. Sonnet VI 7. Sonnet VII
