Arrangements of familiar pieces from around the world sit beside Costantino’s original E.I.B.L. Suite. Brazilian, Argentine and Spanish standards share the programme with Irish and European favourites, closing with Sting’s Fragilidad.
The recording follows Nougat’s self-titled debut of 2000.
Artists
Nougat
ensemble
Nougat seeks to highlight the beauty and versatility of mandolin and guitar. Their music sits on the cusp of world and classical music, and they are comfortable in both classical and world music environments. They are Melbourne based and have an established reputation in Melbourne and Victoria.
Isaac Albéniz
composer
Isaac Albéniz (1860–1909) was a Spanish pianist and composer whose piano music, steeped in folk idioms, helped give Spanish art music a distinctive national voice.
Astor Piazzolla
composer
Astor Piazzolla turned the tango into something sharper, more restless and chamber-like. His nuevo tango draws jazz harmony and classical counterpoint into the dance without blunting its edge.
Waldir Azevedo
composer
Jorge Ben Jor
composer
Tania Ravbar Costantino
composer
Tania Ravbar Costantino is a guitarist and composer of exceptional ability. She has post graduate credentials from the Victorian College of the Arts and won the Australian Guitar Competition back in 1990.
Rafael Hernández
composer
James Last
composer
Vittorio Monti
composer
Vittorio Monti’s Csárdás, written around 1904, is the piece that carries his name: a Hungarian dance of slow lament and whirling fire that has become a virtuoso showpiece far beyond its original scoring.
Rezső Seress
composer
Sting
composer
Sting's songs move between rock, jazz, reggae and intimate ballad writing. Fragile and Fields of Gold have become standards beyond pop, taken up by classical and crossover players in fresh arrangements.

Jim Minchin sets poems by writers at play or at odds with eternity: soul-poet lyrics across the centuries, from anonymous Latin verse and the metaphysicals to Yeats, Shakespeare and living voices.
A Thousand Beautiful and Graceful Inventions
Subtitled ‘The glorious age of medieval and renaissance canons’, this programme of late Middle Ages and Early Modern choral music is sung by the University of Queensland Chamber Singers under Graeme Morton.
