Fingal's Cave: A Romantic programme...
This lunchtime concert for Music in Pinner 25/26 features Ivo Varbanov and Fiammetta Tarli, experienced concert pianists and musicians with a passion for unconventional music production of the highest quality. When in 2013 they joined forces and started performing as a piano duo, a chemistry of musical personalities was immediately evident beyond their bond as husband and wife. Their encounter at the house of Ilona Deckers in Milan, an eminent Hungarian teacher, explains their refined central European sound culture; yet in many aspects they seem to complement each other in rich textures of a never-ending dialogue. Despite their success as a duo, they have not ceased their performing activity as soloists and in various other chamber music formations.
Fiammetta and Ivo have chosen some of the most unforgettable pieces for piano four hands for this captivating Romantic concert. Works include Schubert's Rondo in A major, Op. 107 D 951, Die Hebriden Op. 26 by Mendelssohn, two of Brahms' Hungarian Dances, and Grieg's Pier Gynt Suite No. 1.
