Info for Colors
Das Klavier-Duo Tal & Groethuysen begeistert seit mehr als dreißig Jahren die Klassik-Welt. Für ihre Aufnahmen bei Sony Classical erhielten sie weltweit ungezählte Auszeichnungen u.a. fünf Echo-Klassik-Awards , neun Preise der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, den Cannes Classical Arward u.a. Auch auf ihrem neuen Album "Colors" überzeugen Sie durch eine gelungene Auswahl hochinteressanter romantischer Werke in vollendeter musikalischer Gestaltung. Debussys berühmte Orchesterwerke ""Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" und "La Mer" haben sie in den faszinierend farbenprächtigen Bearbeitungen für zwei Klaviere des Komponisten selbst und von André Caplet eingespielt. Von Richard Strauss wählten sie den "Tanz der sieben Schleier" aus der Oper "Salome" und die "Walzerfolge" aus dem Rosenkavalier in Bearbeitungen von Johannes Doebber und Victor Babin. Richard Strauss´ berühmte sinfonische Dichtung "Till Eulenspiegel" haben sie in der Fassung für zwei Klaviere von Otto Singer eingespielt.
Yaara Tal & Andreas Groethuysen
The Israeli pianist Yaara Tal and her German partner Andreas Groethuysen are one of the world´s leading piano duos and perform regularly at such prominent venues as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Philharmonies Berlin, Cologne and Munich, Teatro alla Scala Milano, Musikhalle Hamburg, Hongkong Arts Festival, Lucerne Festival, Frick Collection New York, Forbidden City Concert Hall Peking, Piano-Festival La Roque d´Anthéron, Salzburger Festspiele, Musikverein Vienna, Tonhalle Zürich - to name only a few.
Besides an unsurpassed homogenity and spontanity in their playing, the duo displays great creativity in their recital programmes which feature unjustly neglected musical treasures in addition to the standard repertoire.
The exclusive cooperation with the record company SONY CLASSICAL makes up an important part of their international success: The Duo Tal & Groethuysen has released numerous recordings of piano music for four hands (largely world première recordings e.g. of pieces by Carl Czerny, Reinhard Febel, Theodore Gouvy, Charles Koechlin, Felix Mendelssohn, Max Reger, Robert Schumann, Richard Wagner) which have brought them great acclaim from critics and the public alike.
Their CD's have won the coveted “Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik” no less than nine times, while the German Phono Academy has awarded its “Echo Klassik”-Prize to five of their recordings, including the complete recordings of Schubert´s music for four hands and the complete Mozart piano duos. Other awards from outside Germany, such as the “Cannes Classical Award“,“Editor´s Choice“ by Gramophone and the “Supersonic Award“ reflect their high international reputation.
The latest releases included in 2013 'Götterdämmerung', with two-piano transcriptions of Wagner's operas ('Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik' 2013), in 2014 the double concerto by Mozart combined with the rarely performed concerto for four-hand piano and orchestra by Carl Czerny, and Rossini's 'Petite messe solennelle' together with the choir of the Bavarian Radio under Peter Dijkstra.
