The "Duettino" was the next piece in the "Pleyel Double Grand Series". The CD containing several first recordings takes its listeners to the musical world of Camille Saint-Saëns. With its selection of the program, the Duo deliberately counteract the still prevailing, one-sided view of Saint-Saëns that depicts the composer as the author of virtuoso pieces for light listening. In addition to the Beethoven variations, which are considered as classics of the two-piano literature, "Duettino" also presents Saint-Saëns's works inspired by Greek mythology, and his ballad adapted from Heine. |
