CENTAUR RECORDS, May 2018

Serenade Duo presents this new album of South American music for flute and guitar. Michelle LaPorte and Gerry Saulter have a great affinity for this music, and it clearly shows in these wonderful performances.

CLASSICAL GUITAR MAGAZINE, WINTER 2018

“A gentle South American journey…Here is a nice recording which you may well file under delightful.”

“The Aria from Villa-Lobos’ Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 is here played with smooth clarity of LaPorte’s flute and Saulter’s steady accompaniment.”

“Sometimes it is rewarding to appreciate a recording that takes you for a gentle ride rather than a white-knuckle one, and Siempre Vivo! is just that.”

AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE, September/October 2018

“The pieces are attractive in the hands of LaPorte and Saulter.”

“Saulter has a sensitive treatment of the rhythm and particularly good control of dynamics and tone - an excellent cantabile.”

“These are performances for repeated listening.”
