| “They both have a gorgeous tone, rock-solid rhythm, beautiful phrasing, and no identifiable technical flaws. This is great playing.”
-American Record Guide
(reviewing the Duo’s Naxos recording of Tedesco’s Preludes and Fugues)
“...there are two new kids on the classical guitar block -- they're from Brazil, and they're armed and ready with the music of Sao Paulo's streets.”

“The maturity of musicianship and the technical virtuosity displayed…is simply outstanding.”
- Classical Guitar Magazine
"Joao Luiz and Douglas Lora make clear the dance character of the neo-classical preludes and display with crystal clarity the contrapuntal lines of the fugues. Combining intelligence, spontaneity and technical ability, the Brasil Guitar Duo is a delight to hear."
-Folha De São Paulo
(reviewing the Duo’s Naxos recording of Tedesco’s Preludes and Fugues)
“Moving with versatility through the classical and popular universes, they show maturity, talent, and perfect technique…unmatched in their execution of intricate Brazilian rhythms.”
-Paulo Bellinati
“…one of the best debut recordings of a guitar duo I have ever heard. The sonority is exceptional, robust and colorful. The entire repertoire is played with verve and enthusiasm, showing balance and aesthetic sensibility…”
