It Takes Two - NEW!
Duo Concertante
Nancy Dahn, violin
Timothy Steeves, piano
Duo Concertante, acclaimed for their "artistry, poetry, and impeccable
technique" (La Scena Musicale) have recorded 14 of their favourite
encore pieces - music that is immediately recognisable - and for good
reason. The brilliant arrangements by Clifford Crawley complement the
virtuosity of Nancy Dahn and Timothy Steeves. Their joy in performing
this wonderful music is evident on every track.
From the performers:
This recording initially grew out of Duo Concertante's need for a few
encore-type pieces which featured both instruments in an equally prominent
way. When we approached Clifford Crawley about arranging some materials
for us, we suggested some of our favourite opera arias, jazz tunes,
and orchestral pieces. He, in turn, had other great ideas and for the
next year turned out the 14 arrangements that comprise this disc. We
are indebted to his great skill, enthusiasm, and generous spirit. The
title of the disc should really be "It Takes Three."
