Schwetzingen Festival (3/4)

The GrauSchumacher Piano Duo perform works for two pianos by Beethoven and Brahms at the 2020 Schwetzingen Festival.

Works for two pianos by Beethoven and Brahms, played by the GrauSchumacher Piano Duo and recorded at last year's Schwetzingen Festival

Andreas Grau and Gotz Schumacher present a pair of well-known works in very unfamiliar garb: Beethoven himself arranged his Grosse Fuge, the original finale of one of his late quartets for two pianists at the same keyboard. They performed this with an early version of Brahms's Piano Quintet which works surprisingly well on two pianos.

Presented by Sarah Walker
