Description

Classical guitar and mandolin playing Israeli, Hebrew and Jewish music Duo Mantar is comprised of two virtuosos, American classical guitarist, Adam Levin, and Israeli Mandolinist, Jacob Reuven. They are described as “visceral and imaginative” and “transcendental and exuberant,” respectively. This novel pairing is rare in the chamber music world, however, the two plucked instruments are complimentary and are natural extensions of one another. The mix of gentle guitar strings and the more metallic sound of the mandolin is truly an interesting and luring experience for the listener. Levin and Reuven began playing together in Fall 2017 and share a passion for Israeli Music, Hebrew and Jewish songs. Both of them are committed to expanding the repertoire available for mandolin and guitar by actively commissioning today’s most sought after Israeli composers.Their debut recording on Naxos Label (June 2021) was No.1 on the Billboard Traditional Classical Album Chart for three weeks.
