GEMS
....has 14 tracks of attractive pieces or movements from larger works, some familiar others less so,but all of them gems in their own right. Several tracks feature pieces arranged for piano duet by the composers hemselves or pieces which are more popularly heard in their orchestral orchestral version but were originally written for piano duet.
The tracks were recorded on a wonderful ‘period’ Broadwood piano of 1912 which has been regulated but otherwise in virtually original condition at the time of the recording.
