Porgy and Bess Fantasy [2CD]

Porgy and Bess Fantasy

Music for Two Pianos

David Bollard & David Stanhope (piano duet)

***

In the early 1980s, two of Australia’s finest pianists came together to perform several masterpieces of the two-piano repertoire. These recordings have come from both concerts and studio recordings, back in the day when these things were possible.
This double CD is tribute to that remarkable musical collaboration.
