about

This album consists of four pieces for two pianos written at different times and recorded in 2022. I recorded both piano parts myself. Here is why. Music for piano duo is in fact music for one pianist who has four hands. As a rule, such compositions are performed by two different people, and the performers are two different personalities, two different worlds. Our perception gets split, and it feels like listening to two completely different interpretations of the same music simultaneously. This listening experience can be interesting but for this recording I chose to go for integrity. That's why you will hear one four handed pianist.
