MusicWeb International‘s Oleg Ledeniov reviews Viviana Guzman & Jérémy Jouve’s Traveling Sonata recording:
“Chilean-born flutist Viviana Guzmán and French guitarist Jérémy Jouve present a rewarding disc, full of beautiful music, performed with care and affection. The programme combines a few transcriptions of classical pieces with new works that are attractive and merit attention. …
“We open with the gentlest and loveliest account of Fauré’s Pavane. The guitar provides the mysterious harp-like arpeggios while the flute is exquisitely tender. …
“The sound of the flute is silky. The guitar comes across as full, spacious and not too hard. The connection between the two musicians is excellent – a real dialogue. The recording quality is very good, setting a good balance between the two instruments and catching their voices clearly. The booklet tells the stories of the creation of the works. This is a disc for repetitive listening. Every track is a joy. I am sure I will return to it often.” —Oleg Ledeniov, MusicWeb International
