Music for Piano Duo

Everyone knows the orchestral version of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue - but that was the last of several arrangements of which the first was for two pianos as heard here. The same applies to his wonderful "I Got Rhythm" Variations. Also Ravel's own duet version of Boléro, and Gershwin's Cuban Overture, which were written for four hands before orchestration. Familiar melodies with a difference, in superb performances.

"Their influence [Gershwin and Ravel] on each other is evident in this delightful disc from the British husband-and-wife team Anthony Goldstone and Caroline Clemmow" - Anthony Holden (The Guardian)

"The performance [of Rhapsody in Blue] is packed with poetic exuberance and well worth the cost of the CD in its own right…the other Gershwin pieces offer new facets to Gershwin. Ravel's "Mother Goose" is a delight and played with an enormous sense of imagery. I must admit to being enchanted by Goldstone's arrangement of the delightful "Fascination"" - Denby Richards (Musical Opinion)

"(This) disc further enhances [the duo's] a considerable reputation. Very worthy performances, the programme is an attractive one for its variety…and the sound quality is deal." - Nicholas Salwey (International Record Review)
