Beskrivning

This collection presents nine beautifully-crafted duet arrangements of classic works from the Russian repertory. Compiled and prepared by composer Halyna Ovcharenko, the arrangements have been carefully selected from a variety of genres, including orchestral, chamber, opera, and ballet. Twentieth-century classics such as the Allegretto from Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 and the Gavotte from Prokofiev's 'Classical' Symphony sit alongside timeless masterpieces like Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade and Tchaikovsky's 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' from The Nutcracker. Topped off with works by Glinka, Borodin, Musorgsky, and Rachmaninoff, the result is a varied and satisfying collection suitable for all intermediate and advanced duettists.

Recensioner i media

Piano Duets by Russian Composers is an unusual but enjoyable and useful collection that includes some of the most famous Russian movements and pieces from the orchestral, chamber and operatic repertoire in idiomatic, relatively easy and generally inspirational arrangements . . . The approach is always elegant, economical and sensitive in terms of pianistic layout. This makes the anthology useful to advanced players who wish to relax and have some fun, as well as to less experienced amateurs and also young, ambitious players who could well be inspired to push themselves a little bit harder in order to reach the exciting offerings that are available here.
