New Recording
In December 2006, the Duo released its latest recording for Deux-Elles - a
disc of the three major Stravinsky ballets from the beginning of the 20th
Century: Petrushka, The Firebird (in the Duo's own
dazzling arrangement for piano duet) and The Rite of Spring. For details of how to
obtain a copy, please see the Recordings

World Première
In 2004 the Duo were awarded a highly prestigious fellowship from the
Borletti-Buitoni Trust. They used the money to commission the German
composer Detlev Glanert to write a Two Piano Concerto, which was premièred
with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Martyn Brabbins in Glasgow
in March 2008. Click here for a short video clip

had to say about this spectacular event.
