This is the third release of Duo d'Accord for SWR Classic, a most successful piano duo, which has committed itself to original repertoire selections and impeccable ensemble playing. The album contains fascinating and little known works by Alexandre Tansmann. Lucia Huang and Sebastian Euler became acquainted while studying at the Munich Academy of Music under Karl-Hermann Mrongovius and Begona Uriarte. At the end of 1999 they established Duo d'Accord. During the following two years they won the second prize in the ARD competition in Germany and first prize in the Murray Dranoff competition in the USA, these competitions being the most renowned in the world for piano duos. Thus began a career which has seen Duo d'Accord celebrated as a piano alliance of extraordinary quality. Their programmes have become their trademark: an unusual combination of masterpieces, rarities, own arrangements and new music. Not only their exciting concerts but also their recordings rest on the delight they take in all this musical wealth.
