Prokofiev for two

Description

The pianists Martha Argerich and Sergei Babayan present an astonishing selection of stage music by Prokofiev in magnificent transcriptions for two pianos by Babayan. The album includes, in particular, a twelve-movement transcription of excerpts from the ballet Romeo and Juliet and its seven-movement suite transcribed from the stage music of Hamlet and Eugene Onegin, as well as the film music for The Queen of Spades and the opera War and Peace. These new transcriptions of Prokofiev's music are all dedicated to Martha Argerich. "This project was born from my love for Prokofiev, my love for Martha, and my love for the ballet Romeo and Juliet," Babayan says. Since their first meeting in 1991, Argerich and Babayan have maintained a strong friendship that often brings them together on stage, in Europe and America.
