DUO PLEYEL

Duo Pleyel takes its name from Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya and Richard Egarr’s pet piano – a beautiful instrument made in 1848 by Chopin’s preferred maker, Pleyel. The Duo has been working for the past three years to bring the rich and exciting repertoire for piano four hands to a wider public. It is particularly committed to providing mixed programmes ranging from the earliest music by Johann Christian Bach and Mozart, mixed with that by lesser-known early Romantics such as Hummel and Dussek, through to the great popular works by Fauré, Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky in the twentieth century.

They record for LINN Records, and their releases of Schubert and Dussek have received excellent reviews.  A recording, entitled ‘Mozart’s Real Music Father’, is released in November 2022.  It explores the close relationship both musically and personally of Johann Christian Bach and Mozart.  Future recording projects include the Complete Beethoven Symphonies in extraordinary 4-hand arrangements by his undervalued student Carl Czerny.  These are fascinating and hugely important from a historical, musicological, and purely musical perspective.  Other plans include music by Fauré, Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky.
