About
The first source is the original 'A Touch of Class' CD, issued on Dunelm CD (now deleted) and recorded when the players were only 17 years old. The best of that recital has been included here, along with three major modern works recorded in 2009.
The CD is a recital programme in every sense of the word, having a lively short ‘overture’ piece, a range of diverse works and two brilliant ‘encores’; it is also a recital in that, though not recorded ‘live’ in the sense of having an audience, the recordings have not been submitted to endless clinical editing or patching of takes, but exist as a true reflection of the twins’ actual performance of these works. While this may include the odd small imperfection in the most stressful passages, which does not denigrate at all from the prodigious talent and pianism of the young performers, it also maintains to true effect the zest, vibrancy and immediacy of a live concert.
All the music on the CD is for piano duet, save for Scaramouche, for two pianos.
Identical twins Rachel and Vanessa Fuidge were born in 1988 and began learning the piano with their mother at the age of four years. They were introduced to piano duets when aged eight.
