The piano duo Tal & Groethuysen has thrilled classical music audiences for more than 30 years. They have received innumerable accolades worldwide for their recordings with Sony Classical, including five ECHO Klassik Music Awards, nine German Record Critics' Prizes, and the Cannes Classical Award.

They have recorded Debussy’s famous orchestral works Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune and La Mer in four-hand versions full of evocative colour, the first arranged by the composer himself and the second in a reduction for four hands by André Caplet. The duo also chose works by Richard Strauss for this album: the “Dance of the Seven Veils” from the opera Salome and the “Waltz Sequence” from the “Rosenkavalier” in arrangements by Johannes Doebber and Victor Babin. They have also recorded the famous symphonic poem Till Eulenspiegel by Strauss arranged for four hands by Otto Singer. A fascinating recording presenting well-known romantic pieces in amazing arrangements, allowing them to be heard in a new light.

There is hardly any period in the history of music that was as colorful and that produced such a variety of ideas, trends and movements as the time around the turn of the 19th century. The centres of this wealth of creativity were Vienna and Paris. Our COLORS CD focuses on Paris and on two composers who were of major significance for the emergence of Modernism: Claude Debussy and Richard Strauss.

The repertoire, consisting of La Mer, L’après-midi d’un faune, Till Eulenspiegel, Salomé and Der Rosenkavalier presents absolute highlights of this period in excellent transcriptions.

This album seeks to position itself between the poles of the works of Debussy and Strauss and is thus another production by the duo – after “1915” – to deal with Debussy in the light of his contemporaries and inevitably again forges a bridge to Wagner (“Twilight of the Gods" – Homage to Wagner on both banks of the River Rhine)
