Our Take

Simon Callaghan and Hiroaki Takenouchi team up to tackle the oh-so-delightful world of Delius on their latest release, "Orchestral Music For Two Pianos."

From the get-go, it's clear that these two maestros are not messing around. They attack the material with a ferocity that would make even the most stoic of classical music aficionados weak at the knees.

Tracks like "On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring" and "Brigg Fair" are given new life with Callaghan and Takenouchi's dynamic and explosive playing. It's like taking a trip through a musical wonderland, guided by two of the industry's most brilliant minds.

The chemistry between the two pianists is palpable, with each note bouncing off the other in a whirlwind of sound and emotion. It's a true delight to witness such a perfect partnership in action.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. The duo also isn't afraid to dive into the darker, more haunting aspects of Delius' repertoire. Tracks like "In a Summer Garden" and "North Country Sketches" showcase a depth and complexity that is truly breathtaking.

In conclusion, "Orchestral Music For Two Pianos" is a triumph for Callaghan and Takenouchi. It's a masterclass in musicality, passion, and pure unadulterated talent. Do yourself a favour and give it a listen - you won't be disappointed.
