Since winning two prizes at the ARD International Music Competition in 2005, Serbian sisters Sanja and Lidija Bizjak have achieved worldwide praise for their solo piano and piano duo performances alike: "brilliant sound, precise fingerwork, and excellent listening skills" - The Independent. For their debut recording on Onyx, they have created a superb programme consisting of two concertos for two pianos and orchestra by Poulenc and Martinu to frame compositions for two pianos alone: Stravinsky's 'Sonata' and Shostakovich's rarely heard 'Concertino'. The sisters have appeared at the BBC Proms to great acclaim in Saint-Saens' 'Carnival of the Animals' For more information on Sanja and Lidija visit www.bizjakpiano.com
