Transcriptions Beyond - STRAVINSKY NANCARROW CD

The PianoDuo Takahashi|Lehmann once again manage to combine passionate expressivity, intellectual programme conception and virtuoso piano technique. In the works presented in this second volume, the lines between original and arrangement are blurred: art prevails over genre boundaries. In the suspense between faithfulness to the original and interest in arrangements, Norie Takahashi and Bjoern Lehmann take their own position. The pianists perform original works or arrangements made or sanctioned by the composers themselves. Igor Stravinsky adapted the score of his Le Sacre du Printemps for piano duet so that it could be played in rehearsals - creating a work with its very own sound character. His Concerto for Two Pianos , on the other hand, is an original composition, referring, however, to a long history of arrangements that adapted works for solo instruments and orchestra for keyboard instruments. Conlon Nancarrow became famous for his works for player pianos. His Sonatina , in the version presented here, is a re-arrangement: originally conceived for piano (two hands), the composer - dissatisfied with the performance results - arranged it for player piano. Yvar Mikashoff adapted this version for piano duet - with brilliant results and much to the delight of the original composer. In his Hausmusik , Arnulf Herrmann turns the relationship between original and arrangement upside down. The colourful and rhythmically vivacious cycle opens with an adaptation of an ensemble piece, and closes with a composition which he later reworked into an ensemble piece.Additional Info: Personnel: Nery Landa, Carmita Campos, Berta Rodr¡guez, Anita Isaac, Omara Portuondo (vocals).
