Michael Lucarelli and Martin Zwick must have had a blast recording the 14 selections on this CD. And listening to it is just plain fun. Although the music is dominantly Spanish-flavored, it's a surprisingly diverse album, with pieces ranging from the classics to more modern numbers. The album also has a neatly arranged version of "Somewhere my Love" from "Dr. Zhivago" and a campy rendition of Dean Martin's old hit, " That's Amore."

Guitar and mandolin make a great combination, and these two local musicians create a certain magic performing together.. They're perfectly matched and they give a spirited performance of these catchy tunes.
(In case you're wondering, Zwick is the former principal clarinet of the Utah Symphony, and the mandolin, according to the liner notes, is the instrument of his youth. He and Lucarelli have given several concerts locally in the past couple of years.)

Some of the other numbers on this CD include the hauntingly beautiful" Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5" by Heitor Villa-Lobos, the charming "Swan" movement from Camille Saint-Saens" "Carnival of the Animals" (yes, it really works for guitar and Mandolin!), and the lovely "Recuerdos de la Alhambra" by Francisco Tarrega.

So , get this album, sit back and enjoy it.
