Mookie Lee-Menuhin and
Jeremy Menuhin already proved on their debut Genuin album that they are a
great piano duo. And now the composer Jeremy Menuhin presents himself
in that light for the first time on a recording as well: The duo's new Genuin release exclusively features world premiere recordings. There is a
baroque suite, but it plays elaborately with our expectations and
listening habits, and there are "transformations" of individual
movements of the two string sextets by Johannes Brahms: real
ear-openers! Also, there are colorful variations on a theme and a
virtuoso fantasy that unites the styles: brilliantly played, true
expansions of the repertoire! “As if entirely of one mind” (Primephonic)
captures the essence of every
performance by the dynamic Menuhim Duo. Whether performing on two pianos
or side by side at the same keyboard, Mookie and Jeremy play as one,
interpreting the classical repertoire with devotion and joy. The unique
soundscape of the two-piano literature allows the Duo great flexibility
of range, color and depth in their performances of works by Mozart,
Brahms, Schumann, Lutoslawski, Bartok, and many others.
