Complete Music for Four Hands

Complete Music for Four Hands

This collection of duets by Moritz Moszkowski, a German pianist and composer of Polish descent, astonishes in its range and variety. From the spirited Polish Folk Dances, via the elegant Deutsche Reigen or the virtuoso Tarantelle from the KlavierstÃ¼cke, to the distinctive and exotic sound of the Spanish Dances for which Moszkowski was best known, every disc in the set reveals a new aspect of the composers craft. The influences are varied too, as the composer tips his hat to musical traditions from a range of countries including Hungary, Russia, Spain, his native Germany, and the Poland of his ancestors. This interest in styles characteristic of different countries is most clearly showcased in his Aus aller Herren LÃ¤ndern (From Foreign Parts), a set that is both engaging and of course full of variety. Italian pianists Domenico Monaco and Michele Solimando appear here for the first time on Brilliant Classics. Both have received many prestigious awards, including prizes in international competitions such as P. Badura Skoda at Villa Seca (Spain), and enjoy busy performing careers alongside their regular teaching. Other information: Recorded in 2013, under the patronage of the State Conservatory of Music Umberto Giordano of Foggia, Italy. Booklet contains detailed notes on the music and artist biographies.
