This album, the first in Richard Durrant’s Paraguayan trilogy, was released in May 2011 during Richard’s first tour of Paraguay. It was the first time an all Barrios album had been released by a foreign artist in the composer’s home country and the launch concert took place in the Teatro Municipal, Asuncion where Barrios himself had played years before.

During the concert Richard was made an Esteemed Visitor to the capitol city. He went on to tour Paraguay performing concerts in Barrios house of birth in Villa Florida, his childhood home in San Juan Bautista and at Hotel Lago, San Bernadino where Barrios stayed many times. It turned out that this was just the start of Richard’s Paraguayan adventures…

“Durrant handpicked some choice Agustin Barrios tunes for his latest musical adventure and by weaving his own personaiity into the mix he does them justice – tenfold”
Guitar and Bass June 2011

Dedicated to Betty Durrant, the mother from whom the guitarist obtained his first Barrios record, this album not only serves as a fascinating introduction to the work of one of the world’s greatest guitar composers but also an intriguing piece of contemporary interpretation of timeless music.”
Allan Wilkinson Northern Sky June 2011

“All the tracks are wonderful. I think even Barrios himself would be an admirer of Durrant’s style of playing, his interpretations. I have never heard anything like it. Durrant seems to be having fun with each measure, with each phrase and passage, each different, each delicate.”
Carlos Salcedo (author of ‘El Inalcanzable’ and a world authority on the life of Barrios).

“The UK nylon-string King sets course for sunnier climes…The rawness of his playing is laudable and unusual, creating one of the year’s most passionate solo guitar records.”
Guitarist Magazine June 2011
“Durrant demonstrates his capacity as artist, making use of all guitaristic devices to help make the music transcendental, dreamy, and imagery-rich: one feels as if carried back to romantic periods reminiscent of a belle epoch in Latin America — mysterious, surreal, remote. I congratulate Richard Durrant who has arrived both physically and metaphorically in Paraguay and the world of Agustin Barrios. In my opinion, Durrant has successfully represented the works of the great Paraguayan – a feat achieved by only a few guitarists anointed by destiny to carry his music and art forward.”
Felipe Sosa, Founder of the Paraguayan Classical Guitar School, Asuncion. (Paraguay 15 de mayo 2011)

“Extremely musical and expressive, with virtuosity to spare. I am speaking of Richard Durrant, English guitarist who recently visited Paraguay playing the music of Agustín Barrios Mangoré. The public acclaimed him not only because he presented an all-Barrios program (which he played superlatively), but also because of his passion and tenderness, qualities that he communicates through his magnificent playing of the classic guitar. Durrant is a musician of depth who can play a variety of musical styles, from the Concierto de Aranjuez with the Royal Philharmonic, to popular music and jazz. Here is a mature musician of extraordinary technical prowess.” 
Richard Stover. Barrios biographer and ethnomusicologist (Caacupé, 14 de mayo 2011)

“I think even Barrios himself would be an admirer of Durrant’s style of playing, his interpretations. I have never heard anything like it. Durrant seems to be having fun with each measure, with each phrase and passage, each different, each delicate.”
Carlos Salcedo, Author of ‘El Inalcanzable’ and authority on the life of Agustin Barrios (Asuncion, 1 de mayo 2011)
