The Walachowski sisters, without putting themselves intrusively in the limelight, convince us with their always perfect and free interplay. Their play is so much in tune that it makes you believe you are listening to one single pianist instead of a piano duo. The impression comes easily as you lose yourself rapidly in the music and cease wondering how a single person could make a piano sound this way all by him or herself. Conscious, however, of this fact, one realizes from the very beginning of this recording: these are two musicians playing thick as thieves.

Although these two siblings have played as a duo for years now, luckily enough there is no routine: At any moment their play is exciting. Anna & Ines Walachowski will not get lost in their own virtuosity, but instead, leave ample space for their music to unfold in free presentation.
