There seems no end to the brilliance not only of the musicianship and pianistic skill of our top piano duo but also their dedication to re-discovering and recording lost or neglected masterpieces. Here we have the very well known Second Piano Concerto of Chopin, in a two-piano version by Chopin himself and his pupil Mikuli - and never before recorded. A host of other rarities and trasncriptions complete yet another reference recording.
“The playing throughout is exuberant... certainly a unique disc.”
Michael Ullmann
“Flair, abandon and technical sure-footing.”
Edward Bhesania
“The British pair is today counted amongst the world’s premier piano duos. Elegance is instantly recognisable in the duo’s reading of the Concerto... this arrangement balances poetry with thrills and colour... and has found the ideal interpreters in Goldstone and Clemmow...{they} know exactly where to take you with this music.”
Patrick P.L. Lam
“Chopin’s familiar Piano Concerto in F minor... is here refreshed in a previously unrecorded version. There is no scholarly dryness about their playing”
Paul Driver
“An ingenious collection... this is fine entertainment”
Peter Spaull
“This disc (which includes six première recordings) rediscovers a very special individual piece of the [Chopin] jigsaw. Goldstone’s long, detailed but always readable booklet note provides immaculate documentation. Chopin lovers: please do not hesitate to acquire it”
Stephen Pruslin
