  • Description

    The Girl at the Airport is the latest album by composer and concert guitarist Richard Durrant. Its the culmination of a four and a half year project to record a trilogy of albums inspired by the country of Paraguay. This vividly colourful, final album features music by Durrant, Agustin Barrios Mangoré (the great Paraguayan guitarist) and Durrant's Paraguayan collaborators Kike Pedersen and Juan Duarte.

    The Girl at the Airport is an album with a story. Says Durrant: "It tells a Graham Greene tinged tale. An Englishman experiencing South American culture at first hand, unearthing musical treasures along the way. My own tracks Night Flight to Lima, Our Man in Asuncion and The Girl at the Airport set the scene with a string orchestra, percussion, guitars, ukuleles and other soundscapes. You can even hear the voice of Barrios himself."

    Durrant's memorable title track The Girl at the Airport was recorded in Prague last July with The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra Strings.
