Prokofiev for Two

Deutsche Grammophon's Prokofiev for Two reveals profound rapport between Martha Argerich and Sergei Babayan in irresistible transcriptions of Romeo and Juliet for two pianos. Pianists Martha Argerich and Sergei Babayan, who first met in Brussels in 1991, have now recorded for Deutsche Grammophon two stunning selections from Prokofiev's music for stage and screen in magnificent two-piano transcriptions by Babayan. Prokofiev for Two features Babayan's twelve-movement transcription of numbers from the ballet Romeo and Juliet and his seven-movement suite transcribed from the Russian composer's incidental music for Hamlet and Eugene Onegin, film score for The Queen of Spades and opera War and Peace. The sense of mutual inspiration felt by these kindred spirits, palpable in their live performances together, is now captured for posterity in these recordings.
