CD Reviews

The artists achieve perfect unison.

John Austin | Kangaroo Ground, Australia | 01/21/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Being particularly fond of Schubert's piano duets, I have already acquired five of the seven CDs in this complete issue. The artists originally prepared and programmed the works for a series of seven concerts in 1993, and used the same program format when recording this complete CD series in 1998-9. Polonaise and marches, originally published in sets of perhaps four or six, are juxtaposed across the complete set of CDs rather than heard consecutively. Each well-filled CD includes a major work, and in this CD it is the Grand Duo in C, with its wonderful Scherzo. These middle of the road performances of music that always seems fresh and genial are remarkable for at least one reason - the artists achieve perfect unison. Goldstone and Clemmow formed their duo in 1983 and married in 1989. As an encore item on each CD they include one of a series of eight Polonaise written by Schumann in his eighteenth year. These works, inspired by Schubert's examples, were first published in 1933."
