4-Hand Piano Music 2
Dvorřak originally wrote his wonderfulSlavonic Dancesfor  piano for four hands, in which form they were immensely popular. He orchestrated  them only later. They are delightful to hear in both forms when they are well  played, and frankly I have no preference between them; either one can be  selected to suit different listening moods. I don't know where Naxos found this  four-hand piano team, but their Brahms and Dvorřak recordings have been  uniformly excellent. They play these dances with sensitivity and flair, and  their rhythms sound just right. With the generous program, fine playing and  sound recording, and super-budget price, this disc is an amazing bargain.-- Leslie Gerber
