Through the hands of 4 brilliant pianists we are transported into a fairytale world with a distinct French flavour, for another two-piano, four-hand extravaganza. Prokofiev’s Cinderella, full of dances and flashes of humour is matched with Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé, painting an impressionistic soundscape of love, nature, and ancient myth with shimmering colour. Chaminade’s elegant Six Pièces Romantiques and popular works from Mozart and Mendelssohn complete a magical programme where intimacy meets virtuosity.
