The young German duo of Jessica Kaiser and Jakob Schmidt<\/a> have been performing together for a decade already, but this is their first CD release\u2014and it’s a winner! The nearly hour-long disc contains just four quite diverse multi-part pieces: two from the late 19th century (by Enrique Granados and Gabriel Faur\u00e9), and two from the late 20th century (by Astor Piazzolla and Du\u0161an Bogdanovic); all but the Bogdanovic were originally piano pieces. The playing is superb throughout, the strong communication between the players clearly evident. I’m a sucker for the intoxicating Romantic melodicism of Valses Poeticos<\/em> (played in full here) and Faure’s wonderful six-part Dolly Suite;<\/em>\u00a0those sandwich the lively and always appealing Tango Suite. <\/em>The Bogdanovic\u00a0Sonata Fantasia<\/em>\u00a0(originally dedicated to the Assad Brothers) is more obviously “modern”\u00a0in its sensibilities, but makes for a bracing conclusion to a fine program. The recording by Hans-Werner Huppertz is excellent, as well.<\/p>\n

Valses Poeticos<\/em> (Granados); Tango Suite<\/em> (Piazzolla); Dolly Suite<\/em> (Faur\u00e9); Sonata Fantasia<\/em> (Bogdanovi\u0107)<\/p>\n

So far we’ve only been able to find the CD for sale through the duo’s website<\/a>; we’ll update when we know more.<\/p>\n
