“…it’s Aaron Jay Kernis who provides the main compositional focus. Taking the baton for his own Concierto de ‘Dance Hits’(1998), he sets a pop-classical mood that’s sophisticated as well as fun in exploring the guitar’s cross-cultural heritage. Alternately spicy and lyrical with hints of cinematic glamour and big-band groove, it’s an engaging listen, complemented by his more intimate Lullaby (1987, heard here with duo partner Lisa Lee in a 2014 version for violin and guitar) and solo Soliloquy (2016), composed for Tanenbaum’s 60th birthday.”
