Unplayed Stories … in 40 Fingers (CD, Hyperion)

This truly is an album of ‘Unplayed Stories’—a journey of discovery and re-discovery, presenting multiple premiere recordings. The MultiPiano Ensemble here delves into intergenerational musical collaborations that transcend time, culture and geography. Featuring a unique selection of multi-hand piano works from the early nineteenth century, the recording showcases artistic partnerships between teachers and their students, between idols and their admirers, as well as contemporary musicians re-imagining forgotten classical masterpieces. Each composition on this album represents a fusion of creative minds, with some pieces co-authored by two or even three artistic contributors.
