N their fifth CD for Divine Art, Britain's leading piano duo explore the east from Israel to Siberia, from Persia to Bali. The influences are diverse. McPhee spent much time in Bali, while John Mayer was in effect one of the founders of the "world music" genre. Anthony Goldstone has newly arranged Achron's "Hebrew Melody" for piano duo and prepared a performing edition of Holst's wonderful "Beni Mora" suite from the transcription made by Holst's pupil Nora Day. Most of these splendid pieces are recorded here for the first time.
