To celebrate one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century and following a five year collaboration with the very special ‘Progetto Martha Argerich’, EMI Classics proudly presents this definitive Argerich compilation showcasing the very best music for two pianos from the highly respected Lugano Music Festival. “If the sound is uneven, that's far outweighed by the buzz we get from these scintillating live performances, all of which sound more like one player (with four hands) than two.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 ***** “…at a time when new music is more and more marginalised, modernity is expressed through the interpretation of past works by inspired performers. Lugano is a vibrant tribute to the concept.” Financial Times | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | TranscriptionsWorks transcribed for piano by Serge Rachmaninov
Vladimir Ashkenazy (piano), Vovka Ashkenazy (piano), Dody Ashkenazy (piano) & Alastair Mackie (trumpet) “The Bach Partita movements and the Mendelssohn Scherzo are exuberantly executed with wonderfully shaded phrasing and clear voicing.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2006 “Ashkenazy - a long-time champion of Rachmaninov's music - rattles it all off with a technical ease that borders on prestidigitatious. But there's also an innate sympathy with the musical language...The reworking of Tchaikovsky's Lullaby embodies all that's best in the art of transcription - it's both a loving homage and a distinctly personal poetic statement.” Paul Cutts, bbc.co.uk, 25th November 2002 | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Rachmaninov: Complete Works for Two Pianos
Nina Schumann & Luis Magalhaes (piano) “With an outstanding debut release, this husband-wife team bursts onto the scene with Rachmaninoff performances that rival ones by the greatest artists of our time. They have the kind of precision that is rarely heard these days and an attention to detail that allowed me to hear new things in works I have known for 40 years (and a few I have learned and publicly performed). ..... I will go out of my way to catch a performance of theirs. They are off to a great start, so let’s hope for many more records like this.” James Harrington, American Record Guide | |

| |  | iDuo: Music for 2 Pianos
Andrey Gugnin & Vadym Kholodenko (pianists) iDuo came into being in 2007, when the brilliant young pianists Andrey Gugnin and Vadym Kholodenko combined their skills as soloists to form a vibrant new piano duo. In their very first year of concert appearances, touring Russia and Italy, iDuo was praised for stunning performances, and was a prizewinner in the 2008 San Marino competition. The rarely-heard Rachmaninoff Op. 11 Suite is captivating in iDuo’s hands, as is Debussy’s well-loved “Petite Suite.” Ravel’s “Rapsodie Espagnole” is colourful and exciting, and the “Mother Goose” Suite works its magic with deceptive simplicity. | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

“Jos van Immerseel and Claire Chevalier are the first pianists to record these hugely challenging works on authentic instruments - in this case a pair of Pleyel pianos dating from around the turn of the 20th century… The magical, bell-like sonorities these hugely experienced players conjure up is perhaps reason enough to invest in this fine disc, especially as the recording quality is so richly detailed yet luxuriously opulent.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2007 **** “they bring a delicious piquancy to these attractive scores.” Gramophone Magazine | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
