Sonata For 2 Pianos in D Major, K. 448

Both hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, pianists Martha Argerich and Daniel Barenboim are not only fellow countrymen; as child prodigies they both began to give concerts in their youth, as soloists and with an orchestra, and both have gone on to establish long, distinguished global careers as virtuoso pianists in addition to branching out to other equally distinguished activities of considerable and noteworthy impact within and outside the classical music world, including but not limited to for either or both, conducting, competition jurists, festival founders and humanitarian causes. In the musical realm, their particular, common interest in chamber music performance led these two musical eminences and ambassadors to concertize together, as seen here on EuroArts DVD offering Piano Duos, featuring works by Mozart, Schubert and Stravinsky.

The Labeque sisters are not alone! For Guher and Suher Pekinel are twins and piano duettists by which I also mean that they play works for two pianos. Looking at their names, I wondered about their nationality, and the booklet tells us that they are in fact ''of mixed Turkish/Spanish parentage'' and that from the age of about ten their training was at the Paris Conservatoire, the Frankfurt Musikhochschule, under Rudolf Serkin at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia and finally at the Juilliard School, New York.
