“Released in June 2020 and recorded live in April 2019 in Athens, Dual Nature is a little gem with miraculous calming virtues. It is a duet between the bewitching tone of the bass clarinet of the German Rebecca Trescher – composer and conductor born in 1986, based in Nuremberg – and the expressiveness of Giorgos’ 7-string guitar playing. Tabakis – Greek guitarist and composer born in 1980, based in Athens. The two solo pieces, respectively “Dawn Day Dusk” for guitar then “Moon Elegy” for bass clarinet, compose two fascinating meditations. “Spotlight”, the concluding piece, begins in creative minimalism and evolves by incorporating reminiscences of Greek folklore. Sophisticated and obvious, timeless and innovative, it could be the duality that is expressed in the music resulting from this absolutely splendid European collaboration”
