When Yaara Tal and Andreas Groethuysen provisionally
formed a piano duo in 1985 for a single concert, they naturally did
not realise how important this step would be, both for themselves
personally and for the entire genre. The unforeseeably positive
artistic development and the continuing interest displayed by the
record label SONY CLASSICAL and the international concert market,
however, meant that Tal and Groethuysen gradually matured into one of
the programmatically most exciting and tonally and aesthetically
perfect piano duos in the world. Their work has been honoured five
times with the "Echo Klassik" award and ten times with prizes such as
the "Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik", "Cannes Classical
Award", etc.
During the first few years of their career
together Andreas and Yaara devoted themselves primarily to playing on
one piano, which is more complicated and from the point of view of the
audience at first not quite so effective. In recent years, however, they
have altered their focus and are now delighted to record and give
concerts of the fascinating repertoire for two pianos, which is to some
extent still unknown.
