Bugallo-Williams Piano DuoAbout
This recording features the Bugallo-Williams Duo playing György Kurtág's complete works for piano duet and two pianos as included in the eight published volumes of 'Játékok'. The work's original concept was as a collection of pedagogical performance pieces, and the composer has been adding to the series since 1973. Eight volumes had been published as of 2010 and volumes IV and VIII are for piano 4-hands or two pianos. In addition to a focus on rhythm and time, Kurtág also addresses techniques including using palms, fists and forearms as a means of exploring the keyboard.
In his transcriptions, Kurtág also embraces music from Machaut to J S Bach, passing through Orlando di Lasso, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Heinrich Schütz and Henry Purcell. The transcriptions in this volume bear no less weight than Kurtág’s original compositions and exploit the particular transparency of the piano.
