It is not surprising therefore that many of his symphonic works also exist in his own piano versions, such as the four hand transcription of his ballet, The Rite of Spring. It is a pianistic tour de force, the players often having to interweave fingers, hands and arms to meet the composers tremendous demands of virtuosity. The work has for many years formed part of the standard repertoire of Benjamin Frith and Peter Hill. They have played it throughout England to astonished audiences, and have broadcast this (and the other two works on this disc) on BBC Radio 3. The performance is staggeringly brilliant, superbly recorded in St Silas Church, London on a wonderful Bosendorfer Imperial Grand. The duo are now recording exclusively for Naxos, Peter Hill will be recording the complete music by Stravinsky for two hands at sessions this summer.\u003cp\u003eSonata For Two Pianos: Moderato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata For Two Pianos: Theme With Variations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSontata For Two Pianos: Variation 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata For Two Pianos: Variation 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata For Two Pianos: Variation 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata For Two Pianos: Variation 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata For Two Pianos: Allegretto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto For Two Pianos: Con moto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto For Two Pianos: Notturno\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto For Two Pianos: Variation 1 (Quattro variazioni)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto For Two Pianos: Variation 2 (Quattro variazioni)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto For Two Pianos: Variation 3 (Quattro variazioni)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto For Two Pianos: Variation 4 (Quattro variazioni)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto For Two Pianos: Preludio e Fuga\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part I: The Adoration Of The Earth: Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part I: The Adoration Of The Earth: Auguries Of Spring (Dances Of The Young Gir\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part I: The Adoration Of The Earth: Ritual Of Abduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part I: The Adoration Of The Earth: Spring Rounds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part I: The Adoration Of The Earth: Games Of The Rival Tribes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part I: The Adoration Of The Earth: Procession Of The Wise Elder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part I: The Adoration Of The Earth: The Sage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part I: The Adoration Of The Earth: Dance Of The Earth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite of Spring - Part II: The Sacrifice: Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part II: The Sacrifice: Mystic Circles Of The Young Girls\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part II: The Sacrifice: Glorification Of The Chosen One\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part II: The Sacrifice: Evocation Of The Ancestors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part II: The Sacrifice: Ritual Action Of The Ancestors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rite Of Spring - Part II: The Sacrifice: Sacrificial Dance\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55730265457025,"sku":"814876","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51PbTEHtpYL._SL1500_b950868b-5bfd-410c-a869-557e81af2af7.jpg?v=1779901314","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/814876-2","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
