GRAMMY® Award-winning guitar virtuosos Rodrigo y Gabriela have shared an exquisite new rendition of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183, First Movement,” available now via ATO Records at all DSPs and streaming services. An official visualizer premieres today at YouTube.
“This piece of art has been with me since I saw the trailer for the Milos Forman film Amadeus,” says Rodrigo. “I was probably 10 or so, and I loved it forever. The film is one of my favorite films ever, but that piece had something very special and stuck with me. Last year while we were on hold, I started messing with it and started to record. I don’t read music, so I listened to many different versions played by the best orchestras in the world and picked by ear each line from the oboes to the cellos to the violins and started putting together the arrangement for 7 guitars. So, I recorded my lines and worked on Gab’s lines, I didn’t think she’d be interested in putting this out as Rodrigo y Gabriela. Once she saw her lines and recorded them, she was well up for it! We love the result because we had to use different tunings for some of these lines but it worked!”
Recorded by Rodrigo y Gabriela in their studio in Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, Mexico, “Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183, First Movement” is featured on a two-track single alongside the duo’s ambitious new cover version of the Radiohead classic, “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” available now at all DSPs and streaming services. The track – which marked Rodrigo y Gabriela’s first new release since last year’s GRAMMY® Award-nominated version of Metallica’s “The Struggle Within” – is joined by an official visualizer, streaming now at YouTube.
