About This Item
Mookie Lee-Menuhin and Jeremy Menuhin already proved on their debut Genuin album that they are a great piano duo. And now the composer Jeremy Menuhin presents himself in that light for the first time on a recording as well The duo's new Genuin exclusively features world premiere recordings. There is a baroque suite, but it plays elaborately with our expectations and listening habits, and there are InchtransformationsInch of individual movements of the two string sextets by Johannes Brahms real ear-openers! Also, there are colorful variations on a theme and a virtuoso fantasy that unites the styles brilliantly played, true expansions of the repertoire! InchAs if entirely of one mindInch (Primephonic) captures the essence of every performance by the dynamic Menuhim Duo. Whether performing on two pianos or side by side at the same keyboard, Mookie and Jeremy play as one, interpreting the classical repertoire with devotion and joy. The unique soundscape of the two-piano literature allows the Duo great flexibility of range, color and depth in their performances of works by Mozart, Brahms, Schumann, Lutoslawski, Bartok, and many others.
