Andrew Blanch and Ariel Nurhadi are "two stunning young guitarists". Alchemy, their debut recording, takes us on a journey through history and around the world, through beloved works by Debussy, Rameau, Piazzolla, Albeniz, Falla and Granados. The album also features the acclaimed Three Duets by the late Australian guitarist and composer Phillip Houghton – including Alchemy, the first piece that Andrew and Ariel performed as a duo and the piece after which this album is named. This is a gorgeous album, full of classic pieces beautifully performed, and announces major new stars in the already-glittering galaxy of Australia's classical guitar community.
