“The compositions that Nakanishi wrote for our ensemble display a masterful blend of the European classical traditions with his own cultural heritage.
He found his unique voice of capturing the nuances of expressions through the austere simplicity of Zen. His timeless aesthetic touches the deep spiritual part of humanity, creating a contemplative space for the imagination to wander.
His ingenious motivic development skills amaze us with new discoveries every time when we interpret his work. It has been a tremendous joy for us to collaborate with him.”
Duo Chinoiserie

Barcarola (2020)
"This is a beautiful work composed by my great friend, great musician and guitarist Yusuke Nakanishi, from Japan.
The colors, the magic of the melody and the interpretative possibilities in this piece merge to convey some of the most beautiful human emotions.
I am very proud to count with this work and to bring it today to the world, together with the group of works that I will introduce here, from the hand of composers such as Steve Goss, Tchaikovsky, Aureo Puerta Carreño, and my own, among other great masters."
Marco Tamayo
