Lyapunov's Douze études d’exécution transcendante were meant as a complement to Liszt’s Transcendental Études and dedicated to his memory. But more than an homage, they finish what Liszt had started. Russian virtuoso Konstantin Scherbakov brings these two great works together for the first time. Once a "Superstar for insiders” (Die Welt), Konstantin Scherbakov is today one of internationally renowned pianists who take a special place in the modern piano world.

The Anderson & Roe piano duo’s debut release on the Steinway & Sons label is a showstopper captured in spectacular audiophile-quality sound by multi-Grammy-winning producer Steven Epstein. Featuring original four-handed arrangements of music ranging from Vivaldi, Rachmaninov, and Schubert to Michael Jackson, Radiohead, and Coldplay.

Steinway & Sons begins their celebration of the Beethoven Anniversary year with a new recording from an artist who was born to play this music. These performances, recorded at Steinway Hall in New York, were immediately recognized as definitive recordings to serve in the essential series of Steinway Classics.
