Chartier is both an organist and the builder of the positive organ heard on this recording, contributing instrument craftsmanship as well as performance. John Waldo is a classical guitarist who also handled engineering and production duties and contributed photos and design for the release. Together they focus on clear, lyrical interpretations of classical repertoire with an emphasis on tone color and chamber textures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis release, Positively Beautiful, pairs the flute like voice of the positive organ with the plucked strings of classical guitar. The program spans composers from Granados and Handel to Giuliani, Sor and Tárrega, with arrangements that highlight duet writing and occasional solo guitar pieces. The recording emphasizes the unique timbral blend created by the custom built organ and a handcrafted classical guitar, making the album both a musical and instrument making statement. The overall approach is melodic, accessible and rooted in classical tradition while showcasing handcrafted instruments and sensitive ensemble playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\u003cbr\u003eDanzas Españolas, No. 2 'Oriental'\u003cbr\u003eEnrique Granados\u003cbr\u003e(5:53)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.\u003cbr\u003eMinuet in A minor\u003cbr\u003eJohann Krieger\u003cbr\u003e(2:48)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.\u003cbr\u003ePrelude in A\u003cbr\u003eMauro Giuliani\u003cbr\u003e(0:46)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.\u003cbr\u003ePolonaise Concertante, Opus 137, No. 2\u003cbr\u003eMauro Giuliani\u003cbr\u003e(6:45)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5.\u003cbr\u003eTune 06, Barrel I\u003cbr\u003eunknown\u003cbr\u003e(1:38)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6.\u003cbr\u003eAllegro, from the 'Symphonic Duo'\u003cbr\u003eJohann Kalliwoda\u003cbr\u003e(2:04)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7.\u003cbr\u003ePavanas\u003cbr\u003eGaspar Sanz\u003cbr\u003e(3:17)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8.\u003cbr\u003eSarabandes\u003cbr\u003eG.
