Internationally renowned duo pianists Beatrice and Christina Long have just released an album entitled “It's Lovely Here.” This disc consists of the highly virtuosic Suites Nos. 1 and 2, and the enchanting songs by Sergei Rachmaninoff.
‘It's Lovely Here'- the title of a song, together with two other songs transcribed for two pianos never recorded as a group previously, can now be heard through the artistry of these two talented pianists. The interweaving lines, multi-layered textures, and range of emotions that are the hallmark of Rachmaninoff are clearly defined and expressively played in this disc.
Recorded in New York City Le Frak Hall, Queens College by the Grammy winner engineer Dahong Seetoo on two Steinway D pianos, this disc is a musical treat and an acoustic delight.
