... Favorite track: Tót nóta (Slovakian Song).

maroutas I originally knew Matthew's music from the metal scene, and was pleasantly surprised to find his latest release would be recordings of Bartok's 44 Duos. Playing a duet with oneself is very challenging. despite the miracles of modern recording. Musicians feel and "feed" and from each other's performance live but here Matthew managed to make it sound like he was two distinct and quite talented people! If you are fan of Bartok or early 20th century music give it a go, you won't be disappointed. Favorite track: Tót nóta (Slovakian Song).

geff02 I absolutely loved the complex, subversive compositions, masterfully played by Matthew Dakoutros.
A folk gently touch from a refined instrument such as the violin.
Favorite track: Oláh nóta (Wallachian Song) [Featuring Giannis Ismirnioglou].

yiannis Atmospheric,dark and interesting.

by TAXI CAVEMAN

supported by 6 fans who also own “Béla Bartók - 44 Duos for Two Violins, Volume 1”

The first part of the album is very heavy and hard, it contains rough songs with a hook that destroys you. All mixed with good solos, good voice. But the last theme is the icing on the cake, beauty in its purest form. Melodic psychedelia and abstract feeling with rock and progressive elements that are a delight. Rush, Pink Floyd and the like.
