J.S. BACH/MAX REGER (1873-1916): Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 (piano duo), J.S. BACH/GYÖRGY KURTÁG (b.1926): Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit, Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu Dir, O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig (piano duo), BERND ALOIS ZIMMERMANN (1918-1970): Monologues for 2 Pianos, JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833-1897): Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Op. 56b (piano duo).

Description: Reger’s astonishingly virtuosic transcription is also transparent, clear and lighter than you might expect and is also the only version currently available in the catalogue. Zimmerman’s thorny, five-part piece from 1960 is here because Bach, along with Messiaen, Bach and Debussy, appear as quotation embedded in an intricate network of original material. Piano Duo Takahashi Lehmann.
