Bugallo-Williams Piano DuoAbout
On this new release from WERGO the Bugallo-Williams Piano Duo has achieved its intention to present a complete collection of Igor Stravinsky's published piano arrangements.
The present recording contains two ballets which show Stravinsky's compositional development within the genre: the almost film-like burlesque Petrushka as well as the abstract late work Agon which puts the ancient Greek concept of competition into a contradictory musical setting. In addition, it contains two arrangements of concert pieces: Concertino for string quartet lives on the alternation between homogeneous instrumental passages and soloistic crossed accents. The orchestral Scherzo à la Russe as 'jazz commercial' testifies to Stravinsky's adaptation to his life in America as well as to his love of the Russian types of form at the turn of the century.
In their recording, Helena Bugallo and Amy Williams present the special charms of Igor Stravinsky's music in 'black and white': the piano arrangements reflect the sheer brilliance of his oeuvre in a concentrated form.
