About
One is struck by the widely varied styles and idioms of these five works. The earliest, the Piano Sonata of 1986, is the most challenging from the point of view of both the performer and the listener. The latest, Bagatelles Diverses (2005), is also pianistically demanding, but uses a more straightforward, tonal language. The element of freshness and surprise here is generated by the close juxtaposition of the strongly contrasted colours, textures and tempi of the nine fairly short movements.
Requies (1991) is perhaps the most striking, in its almost single-mindedly slow pace, simplicity of material and depth of feeling. The wittiest pieces and the lightest of touch are Burlesque (2000) for two pianos, four hands, and Four Pieces from “A Bit of a Blow” (2005) for piano duet.
With over thirty CDs and a busy concert schedule stretching back almost a quarter century, the British piano duo Goldstone and Clemmow is firmly established as a leading force. Described by Gramophone as ‘a dazzling husband and wife team’, by International Record Review as ‘a British institution in the best sense of the word’, and by The Herald, Glasgow as ‘the UK’s pre-eminent two-piano team’, internationally known artists Anthony Goldstone and Caroline Clemmow formed their duo in 1984 and married in 1989.
Their extremely diverse activities in two-piano and piano-duet recitals and double concertos, taking in major festivals, have sent them all over the British Isles as well as to Europe, the Middle East and several times to the USA, where they have received standing ovations and press accolades.
