" data-original-title="" title="">Stephen Gauci with his pandemic duets. As Gauci says "I resolved to safely record a series of duet recordings in order to fully express musically, the intense emotions we are all feeling during this challenging period. What was originally meant to be a string of five duet recordings, eventually turned into a series of nineteen recordings over the course of summer 2020." I am featuring four of those excellent recordings.
