Quattro Mani

  • Poul Ruders avoids categorizations in Volume 15

    Nov 23rd, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Andreas Delfs, Anne-Marie McDermott, Benjamin Schwartz, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, contemporary classical music, Odensesymponieorkester, Poul Ruders, Quattro Mani

    What I like best about Poul Ruders is that he’s his own man. Ruders picks and chooses from all the various contemporary compositional trends. He mixes and matches them, all in service of the idea he wants to express. And Ruders makes it all sound not only cohesive but logical — as if it simply […]

  • Quattro Mani excel with Stefan Wolpe two-piano music

    Apr 22nd, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Bridge Records, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Quattro Mani, Stefan Wolpe

    The personal nature of this music makes this volume of Stefan Wolpe one of the most important, I think. Stefan Wolpe met pianist Irma Schoenberg in 1927. Through 1942, when they separated, they had a professional and personal relationship. Schoenberg enabled Wolpe to flee Nazi Germany and rescue his music besides. She inspired the March […]

And that’s an important distinction. The program features works for two pianos as bookends. Paul Lanksy’s brisk and brief “Out of the Blue” opens the […]

  • Quarttro Mani – More than Lounge Lizards

    May 24th, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Arlene Sierra, CD Review, Charles Ives, contemporary classical music, Fred Lerdahl, John Musto, Michael Daugherty, Quattro Mani

    I love everything about this release. The performances are top-notch, and the theme is focused. Yet within that focus is an amazing variety of compositions and styles. This recording is with the new Quattro Mani duo piano team (Steven Beck replaced retiring Alice Rybak in 2013). Though the Susan Grace/Steven Beck chemistry is slightly different […]
