description
Although usually performed by large orchestras, this new release brings the overture – an introduction to an opera, ballet, suite or oratorio – to the organ, in innovative arrangements for four hands. The transcription of orchestral material onto the keyboard has proved popular throughout history, as it brought celebrated concert hall music to more intimate, domestic venues. Arrangements for two players became more fashionable during the second half of the 19th century, through virtuoso pianists such as Max Reger and Franz Liszt. On this recording, overtures from across the centuries are brought alive in imaginative duets. From the solemn, majestic introductions to Handel’s Water Music and Bach’s third Orchestral Suite to the familiar strains of the troubadour song in the overture to Bizet’s Carmen, and the dream-like, imaginary world of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite overture, the grandiose repertoire heard here is nothing but diverse.
