Product details

This diverse programme features eight premiere recordings of Australian music for two pianists, including seven works recently commissioned by the acclaimed Viney-Grinberg duo. Demonstrating the innovative potential of this medium, these pieces range from duets on a single piano to 'Mill Life' in which 22 pianos are overdubbed and piled on top of each other. Other highlights include 'Visible Weapon', pairing virtuoso velocity with electronics, and 'The Art of Agony'- a musical picture frame for Percy Grainger's spoken voice.
