"This amazing duo is one of the most extraordinary events in this new Century. The performances of chamber music for piano and strings has really been left aside since the last three decades, the same doesn't apply for other combinations of instruments. The piano as soloist instrument has many admirers around the world and that fact makes the pianist includes in his or her personal schedule, programs for the piano as main star. The great musical stages in the world simply don't fit for this reduced ambiance of sonorous space, and that doesn't seem attractive at the moment to think in profits and royalties for the artists unless the costs increase notably, what is by itself a Damocles spade.



The new audiences are more accustomed to the great sonorous masses. Realize for instance and compare by yourself the ratio of the performances of Symphonies, Piano and Violin concertos, respect the performance of the chamber music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart two years ago when the world reminded his 250th anniversary.



That's why we must celebrate as a fabulous new this musical join and we really hope this ensemble lasts for many years.



Joao Maria Pires confers these works elegance, sobriety and gentle lyricism. Don't miss it.
