Programme Note
Emma Abbate and Julian Perkins have given duet recitals at venues including the Royal Opera House, St George’s Bristol, St John’s Smith Square, Hatchlands Park, the Russell Collection and for the Mozart Society of America. Praised for their ‘‘impressive sensitivity’’ by Early Music Reviews and for telling ‘‘a totally convincing story with every piece’’ by The Arts Desk, their recordings have received five-star reviews in BBC Music Magazine and Het Nieuwsblad. Their varied discography includes Mozart’s complete sonatas for keyboard duet on period instruments, Weber’s complete piano duets on an original Viennese fortepiano, as well as Tournament for Twenty Fingers featuring works by British composers from the twentieth century. Their latest disc is Summer Dreamswhich brings together the complete works for piano duet by three major American composers: Edward MacDowell, Amy Beach and Samuel Barber. They have both been elected Associates of the Royal Academy of Music in recognition of their ‘significant contribution’ thus far to the music profession.
