Music Mondays presents The Charm of Four Hands

0

Featured on CBC’s In Concert, La Fiammata has quickly become a piano duo to watch for. Speaking to their undeniable chemistry, CBC radio host, Paolo Pietropaolo, attested that “[one]can practically hear the electricity crackling between them.” As the Grand Prix Winners of the Canadian Music Competition, La Fiammata made its orchestral debut with Orchestre de la Francophonie under the baton of Nicolas Ellis in 2017. Most recently, the duo won the top prizes at the 2019 Suzana Szörenyi International Piano Duo Competition in Romania.

Their program will explore the unique magnetism of Franz Schubert, Max Reger, and Sergei Rachmaninoff in their writing for two pianos and four hands. The incomparable ease of Schubert’s melody writing delights in a way quite different from Reger’s quaint and quirky collection of short pieces. And Rachmaninoff, the year of his triumphant return to composition, is bubbling and bursting with life. This vibrant program is sure to charm a smile to your face!
