| |  | Piano Four Hands - Two Pianos In The Xx Century
Paola Biondi, Debora Brunialti Whether it be a question of metaphysics or simply one of ”physics”, piano writing which multiplies hands and fingers on the keyboard of a piano must necessarily experience a fatal syndrome of splitting and of highly fertile ”uncertainty”. An exceptionally rich and fruitful ”philosophical” doubt, for it is around it that many composers created some of the most vital piano pages in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Here thus are Lutoslawski’s prodigious Paganini Variations, Kurtag’s sentimental and visionary Játékok (Games), Ligeti’s Three pieces for two pianos (Monument - Selbsportrait - Bewegung) and Berio’s Linea. Tackling these difficult works are pianists Biondi and Brunialti, forming a solid duo. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Ligeti - Trio / Hungarian Rock / Passaca
Saschko Gawriloff: violin / Hermann Baumann: horn / Eckart Besch: piano / Elisabeth Chojnacka: harpsichord / Antonio Ballista: piano / Bruno Canino: piano “Chamber music from the period between 1968 and 1982 reveals Ligeti once again working with conventional instruments, a development that is particularly impressive with the old-fashioned harpsichord and the Continuum entrusted to it. The piece has an unreal opalescence, literally whirring and flickering. Sheets of sound transform threateningly – quite unlike the more grounded, Hungarian-tinged pieces. The works for piano duo suddenly present a standard theme of painting as a musical subject: the self-portrait! The full title of the composition translates as "Self-portrait with Reich and Riley (and Chopin is in there too)." Ligeti does not deny the irony here. In his Trio, obstinately enough, he does not assemble a classical set of instruments but instead includes representatives of different "families," juxtaposed more or less irreconcilably: violin, horn, and piano.
