About
Michala Petri and Lars Hannibal have together played more than a thousand concerts around the world. On this new release they have put together music from the last century, which in different ways relates to the world of Latin. The word "Siesta" originally means a little "time out" during the day, where people decided to do something else than work - it could be listening to some music!

Reviews
Both Petri and Hannibal are supreme masters of their instruments,and there's an astonishing variety of techniques on display here ... I urge you to take a refreshing Siesta.
(Limelight Magazine)

A collage of outstanding individual musicianship, fine duet playing and excellent programme music.
(Musicweb International)

Fløjtenisten Michala Petri og guitaristen Lars Hannibal er ikke bare fremragende musikere, men også kunstnere, der magter den svære kunst at spille humoristisk.... Ikke mindst Astor Piazzollas nuancerede, skælmske og vemodige værker får samspillet til at gnistre.
(**** Fyens Stiftstidende)
