Brahms’ Circle: 19th Century Music For Two Pianos – Simona Coco

Brahms would not be an author who would need no introduction, different when it is decided to explore the wide circle of friendships, acquaintances and students that the German composer, by virtue of the status acquired over time, has in spite of himself clouded or overshadowed. with its impressive and fundamental production. The Coco-Pizzulli duo makes a double jump with this double disc going to probe on the one hand a little-known repertoire in general even by Brahms himself such as the one composed for two pianos, on the other by extensively exploring the many authors who orbited around Brahms and in some way related to him for aesthetic vision and musical choices such as Brull, Stavenhagen, Scholz, Reinecke and of course Schumann, proposing many of these absolute world premieres.
