Billy the Kid: Suite by AaronCoplandPerformer:  Susanna Garcia (Piano), William ChapmanNyaho (Piano)Orchestra/Ensemble:  Nyaho-Garcia DuoPeriod: 20th Century Written: 1938; USA

The Nyaho/Garcia duo is technically very assured, and the partnership has drawn much critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic….They are well attuned to the Copland idiom…this seems to be the only CD of this version of Billy the Kid and Danza de Jalisco, and the disc as a whole makes an interesting additional view of Copland. This production seems to me one of the most instructive [enlightening] and at the same time entertaining ones that I am familiar with from the Centaur program [series].

Klassik 12/99

the duo, "form a perfect match in their style of playing, their tone, and in their genuine feeling for and understanding of the Copland pieces... This CD will be the standard against which any future performances of these dances will be measured."

Classical Magazine

The CD's "Variations on a Shaker Melody" was named in April, 2001 by author Ronald Blythe as one of the ten selections he would have with him if stranded on a desrt isle, on BBC's popular Desert Island Disc program.
