Leaning Into The Night

Ottmar Liebert
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

Leaning Into The Night features a collection of classical pieces with familiar themes and five Ottmar Liebert compositions gracefully interwoven to make a unique whole. Four of the Liebert pieces are known to his fans from other albums and one, "The Winding Road/La Primavera", here receives its first recording. Legendary Brazilian guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves also contributes one tune, "The Call", which he composed at Ottmar's request -- it features a recording Ottmar made in the Middle East of a muezzin's call to prayer. All these selections have been arranged for orchestra by Castro-Neves, who has created a lush, romantic setting for Ottmar's performances on the guitar. An immediate smash success entering the Billboard Classical Crossover chart at #1, Leaning Into The Night was co-produced and arranged by Castro-Neves.
