Bax & Chung Piano Duo

Bax & Chung Piano Duo

£12.00

Stavinsky’s Pétrouchka was originally arranged for four-hands by the composer as a rehearsal score for the Ballet Russes production of the same name, but in this stripped-down it brings Stravinsky’s melodic, rhythmic and harmonic inventiveness to the fore.  Brahms’s 16 Waltzes Op.39 are an enchanting collection of Romantic miniatures that simultaneously nod to the musical lineage of the composer’s home in Vienna whilst asserting his own flair and individuality. The final four tangos by Piazzolla are a full of Argentine flair and vigour, and were arranged especially for this recording by Bax & Chung.

Bax and Chung internalise [Piazzolla’s] rhythmic syntax… Superb annotations and engineering make the Bax & Chung duo debut CD all the more auspicious – Gramophone

Technically superb and perfectly balanced – Yorkshire Post
