This 2CD set presents a complete survey of Bartók's music for two pianos. The works and arrangements here all stem from Bartók's special artistic collaboration with his wife, the pianist Dittá Pásztory. From 1938, the couple began giving regular public concerts together, and this led the composer to write his version for two pianos of the Suite Op.4, an arrangement of seven of the pieces from Mikrokosmos, and the much-loved Sonata for two pianos and percussion. These challenging works are performed by acclaimed pianists Matteo Fossi and Marco Gaggini, who formed a piano duo while studying together in Florence in 2004. Their pioneering 'Two Pianos Project' aims to extend the scope of the piano far beyond the confines of it's traditional repertoire and has given rise to many warmly received recordings. Recorded in January 2013 in Perugia, Italy. A Béla Bartók's works for two pianos were inspired by the collaboration with his wife, pianist Ditta Pasztory, with whom he gave many concerts. The famous Sonata for two Pianos and Percussion (a masterpiece) is an original work, the other works are arrangements of his own orchestral works: the colorful early Suite Op.4, in which he uses many folk song elements which he collected during his years of field research in Hungry and Transylvania, the 7 Pieces from Mikrokosmos, originally study pieces for piano solo, and the brutal and exuberant ballet The Miraculous Mandarin. Bartók, himself one of the best pianists of his time, didn't write mere \"orchestral reductions for piano\", but extremely well-crafted and pianistic works, masterful in their own right, making use of the many pianistic innovations of Bartók the pianist\/composer. Played with total command and conviction by the Italian duo Matteo Fossi and Marco Gaggini. As a \"bonus\" the duo plays Ligeti's Three Pieces for Two Pianos, a tribute of one Hungarian master to another.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuite For Two Pianos, Op. 4b: I.
