I never would have imagined!” In fact, at the London premiere, the vocal parts were accompanied by a piano duet. Remarkably, this recording removes the vocals entirely and performs the piece using only the piano. While it’s undeniable that the natural decay of the piano’s sound with each keystroke leaves something to be desired, this recording not only reaffirms the eternal beauty of the original composition but also reveals a new charm—such as the crystal-clear high notes of the piano—that cannot be expressed by the massive sound of an orchestra and choir. This is the achievement of a renowned German duo, whose ability to make the piano “sing” surpasses even that of real voices.
