© In höchsten Tönen! Classic in the Krypt: Mozart, Schubert, and others Works for Four Hands
Vienna, Peterskirche — Krypta
About the Event
When two pianists share a keyboard, more than just music happens: a connection of hands, sounds, and glances is created. The piano duo Diána Fuchs and Hiroyo Masumura blend with the highest virtuosity, subtle coordination, and occasionally diplomatic skill.
Their program brings together works that are not only pianistically demanding but also illuminate the unique art form of playing together on the same instrument: at times intimately intertwined, at times wittily pointed, but always with a keen sense of balance and timing.
Amid finger acrobatics and musical depth, the artists deliberately create moments in which the audience can experience the small absurdities and comedic elements of four‐handed playing. For when four hands compete for 88 keys, not only do vast soundscapes emerge, but also charming stories told with a wink. A great delight for classical music lovers and those who wish to become one.
The crypt is pleasantly temperate in every season.
Practical Information
