The Chivers Duo   Wenceslas Matiegka : Serenade Op. 19 Mauro Giuliani : Grand Duo Op. 25   Recorded 1999, France. Sound engineer : Jim Anderson ©Pleiades 1999.

David's first CD, recorded with his father, guitarist Dana Chivers. Wenceslas Matiegka was a Viennese composer and guitarist. The charming, Mozartean Serenade Op.19 includes a first movement in pure sonata form, an unexpected 'Fandango' second movement, and a dancy Rondo. Guiliani is the equivalent in the guitar world of Paganini for the violin. In fact they were friends, and it is thought that they wrote the Grand Duo in order to perform together and show off their dazzling virtuosity. Few violin and guitar duos have dared record the entire work!
