Bax & Chung Piano Duo: Debussy and Ravel for Two

£8.00 – £14.00

Their third duo album on Signum Classics, husband and wife Alessio Bax and Lucille Chung unite to bring an album of French works by Debussy and Ravel in versions for piano duo and four hands. With arrangements by Dutilleux and Ravel himself key works include ‘Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune’ for four hands and La valse for two pianos.

“Superb resolution combines with a warm ambience to make the most of the piano duo on this Signum Classics release.” – Gramophone

“Pianists will be fascinated by the variety of their glissandos. Heartily recommended.” – International Piano

“Debussy’s work is beautifully played by this duo. A disk of uniformly fine performances from a couple who work both musically and domestically hand in hand.” – Gramophone

★★★★ “Bax and Chung capture a relaxed sensuality which is the natural property of these impressionist and pointillist pieces. The album invites listening straight through, like a first-class recital.” – Pianist
