Audiophile Magazine, Positive Feedback reviews iDuo’s Delos release:
“On this release, are featured two rather young pianists who are relatively unknown in the USA. The selections are ones they regularly perform on their many tours. That explains the particularly fine performances of two pianists in seemingly perfect sync. All four selections are widely appealing though all were not written for piano and are finished in an hour and ten minutes—no intermission here…
“For piano lovers here are four good selections in fine performances that should appeal to nearly all classical music lovers. The very good audio quality suits the apparent perspective almost perfectly and could be called relaxed. It is not a very close up perspective though the audio engineering and excellent low-noise equipment lets the details be very apparent with no ‘in your face’ too close a perspective-remember relaxed. No readily apparent negatives must mean a very good recommendation is awarded.”
