Concertino |Marina Kheifets, Anna Yarovaya

“Concertino” shows the fascinating expressiveness of piano music for four hands. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Johannes Brahms stand next to the tangos by Astor Piazzolla and the modern jazz soundscapes of the contemporary composer Alexander Rosenblatt. The Düsseldorf-based virtuosos Marina Kheifets and Anna Yarovaya thus present their own unmistakable approach to the repertoire between romanticism, tango and jazz: their playing is a ballet for four hands in which two different personalities complement each other perfectly – always in a playful struggle for a conclusive interpretation. A special feature of this recording is the recording room. The sound engineer and acoustics specialist Christian Zimmerli optimized it especially for the special sound characteristics of pianos.
