Duo Crommelynck, Piano 4 Hands
Patrick Crommelynck was born in Brussels in 1942, Taeko Kuwata in Tokyo in 1945. Patrick studied with Stefan Askenase at the Brussels Conservatory, with Victor Merzhanov at the Moscow Conservatory, and with Dieter Weber in Vienna, where he met Taeko Kuwata, who was another of Weber's students.
They married and formed their duo in 1974. They came to attention with their two-piano version of Brahms's 4th Symphony. They achieved considerable praise and recognition and were considered one of the world's leading piano duos. They toured widely and a number of composers wrote works for them. These included André Tchaikowsky's Invention 5b, dedicated to Patrick, and another André Tchaikowsky composition Tango and then Mazurka were arranged for the duo.
Duo Crommelynck made a number of recordings for the Swiss Claves label. They recorded music by Auric, Bizet, Brahms, Debussy, Dvořák, Fauré, Messager, Milhaud, Poulenc, Ravel, Schubert, Smetana, Johann Strauss II, and Tchaikovsky.
These included 2-piano arrangements of Tchaikovsky's Pathétique Symphony, Dvořák's New World Symphony, and Smetana's Vltava from Má vlast. Their three-disc set of the four-hand piano works of Schubert won a Grand Prix du Disque from the Académie Charles Cros. They also recorded an entire CD of fragments and unfinished pieces by Mozart.

[@tomasrada6909]

The best piano version of Slavonic Dances on youtube actually.....

[@ClavesRecords]

+Tomáš Rada Totally agree

[@harryandruschak2843]

Unlike some ponderous performances in orchestrated versions, these two make the music *DANCE*.

[@dedikandrej]

Yeah, its really refreshing to hear someone play this on piano without trying to imitate orchestra (which is impossible), but rather play the music with respect to piano, without too much "pounding" of piano. Tis very nice performence, love it :)

[@tomasrada6909]

exactly, orchestra is never the same as piano, something is everytime added to it. some harmonies which doesnt really work...but pure piano is best, pure melody....i am pianist so i must love piano :-)

[@ezrarhett285]

I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

[@MyGustavo2012]

I Am speechless...! Maybe the most deep + passionate rendition I have ever heard of these masterpieces... THANKS A LOT from Atlantic Buenos Aires...

[@user-uj9uq1pz6r]

아름다운 피아노 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤

[@iankemp1131]

Thoroughly enjoyable. A useful reminder to us that the four-hands version was Dvorak's original and he then orchestrated it. I find it fully convincing in both formats, but greatly helped by an expert performance as here. Real toe-tapping stuff!

[@noochinator2]

Wonderful playing, thank you so much!

[@pepep5054]

Wow! The best version I ever heard ... Very expressive and passionate. Love particularly the tempi of the Dances. Thanks for sharing such a treasure.

[@jeyendeoso]

op 46 nº5 my absolute favorite! such a brilliant performance!

[@dejanstevanic5408]

Light and charming - some extraordinary nice playing from the greatest duo. Thanks

[@elsaesteves]

Great performance, I have the CD of the Labéque sisters playing these dances, they are fabulous too.

[@MP-cv6if]

never have i liked classical music pieces so much in the first time itself

[@katiesethna]

Stunning! So lively !

[@Exelsio]

Senseful and profound. Thank you for the cycle. Awesome!

[@urmorph]

I agree with the comments below. Two people, especially two people closely attuned to each other, can produce a kind of flexible intimacy missing in orchestral performances. The only thing better than listening to these is playing them! BTW, the order is different in in my edition.

[@mari4nne]

Magnificent! I love these versions ✨

[@user-wc1zh8vj3b]

Wow! It’s very nice!

[@titicatfollies6615]

I LOVE THEM!

[@asdflkj3380]

Glad to have this on CD.

[@Wkkbooks]

Marvelous.

[@macapo]

Like it; especially : 32:58

[@pepitillop2673]

28:15 i love this part

[@antonin9]

These are not Slovanic dances but Slavonic. I miss Duo Crommelynck in this century.

[@ClavesRecords]

+河野貴之 Oh thx ! I corrected it, we miss them too

[@alaalfa8839]

Slavonic version/language is slovan, slovanský, slovanské (slovak republic, czech republic).....english version/language is slavonic.

[@magarac99]

Wonderful combo.. > Labeque sisters?
