One is a multi-talent - tenor, presenter, director, author, and tireless ambassador of music. The other is a connoisseur of subtle tones. Both are top stars. Their intimate duo program combines arrangements of traditional folk music from Villazón's South American homeland and songs by composers from there. Villazón's expressive voice and de Maistre's brilliant harp playing make this extraordinary evening full of temperament and melancholy.
