This new recording presents the transcription for piano duet that Felix Mendelssohn made of his immensely popular music for Shakespeare's Ein Sommernachtstraum ( a Midsummer Night's Dream). Mendelssohn, one of the greatest piano virtuosos of his time, perfectly managed to maintain the fairytale atmosphere of the orchestral score in this beautifully written piano arrangement: the famous Scherzo shines with pianistic glitter and the Wedding March receives the appropriate festiveness and pomp. • Brilliantly played by the Italian DuoKeira, prize winners of the 2010 IBLA Grand Prize World Music Competition and one of the recipients of the Global Music Awards
