Duo Imbesi Zangara Play Ambrosius Concerto for Two Guitars and Plectrum Orchestra

Duo Imbesi Zangara (Carmelo Imbesi and Carmen Zangarà) and the A.Scarlatti Plectrum Orchestra of Palermo perform the concerto for two guitars and plectrum orchestra, Konzert für zwei Gitarren und Zupforchester by German composer Hermann Ambrosius (1897-1983). This comes via the Duo’s YouTube channel.

Wonderful performance by Duo Imbesi Zangara with excellent ensemble work, beautiful tone, and a real nice balance with the plucked orchestra. Here’s what they mention about the composer: “Hermann Ambrosius, a lesser-known German impressionist composer to today’s general audience, boasts a compositional output of over 500 works, including many for the guitar repertoire and for the Zupforchester, our Plectrum Orchestra.”
