About
Read our recent interview with Kathryn Stott ahead of her appearance this November.
Holst’s The Planets began its life in the intimate setting of two pianos, capturing the mystical essence of each planet in our Solar System through their astrological characters.
The last piece he ever composed, Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances also originated as a work for two pianos and continues to be celebrated for its evocative and vivid soundscapes.
