MultiPiano Ensemble Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin Ivor Bolton - Unplayed Stories ¿ in 40 Fingers [CD]

No fewer than four pianists are called on to tell these hugely enjoyable 'unplayed stories', a unique selection of early Romantic concertante works for multiple pianos and orchestra by Mendelssohn, Moscheles, Schubert and Liszt. All are new to the catalogue in the versions recorded here, and all benefit from the sympathetic storytelling of the MultiPiano Ensemble.

'This immensely enjoyable album masterminded by the Israeli pianist Tomer Lev features his dazzling MultiPiano Ensemble in pieces for four and eight hands, with and without orchestra' – BBC Music Magazine (4 stars)

'the programme is never less than fascinating, containing as it does four first recordings, the most significant being the first item, Fantasie and Variations on a Theme by Weber.' – Gramophone

'Unplayed Stories in 40 Fingers is another enjoyable curiosity: a programme of works for two pianos – with four or eight. […] What could in less sensitive hands be quite a racket is a delightful way to end an enterprising project – these are all first recordings of these versions.' – International Piano
