The apex of the duo piano repertory was reached with Rachmaninov, who challenged pianists with the maximum in technical brilliance while also deploying the rich textures of the medium in ultra-Romantic moods. Performances may emphasize one or the other of these and may take various attitudes toward the knuckle-breaking materials of, say, the Tarantella from the Suite No. 2 for two pianos, Op. 17. Here, the order of the day is pure old-school Russian pianism, brilliant and, where necessary, thundering. These pieces are unforgiving of any hint of un-coordination, and there is none in these readings, perhaps because the players were aided by having been teacher (Sergei Babayan) and student (Daniil Trifonov). They do slow things down effectively in the programmatic and more Tchaikovskian Suite No. 1, Op. 5, based on poems by Byron, Lermontov, and others. However, the chief attraction here is hearing the pianos pushed to their limits. Rachmaninov and Vladimir Horowitz played two of these pieces, the Suite No. 2 and Rachmaninov's own arrangement of the Symphonic Dances, at a Los Angeles party shortly before the composer's death. One would like to have been a fly on the wall at that event, but this may be the next best thing. The album made classical best-seller lists in the spring of 2024.
