Duo Pleyel, consisting of Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya and Richard Egarr, started a unique project two years ago: recording and performing all of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies in the arrangement for piano four hands by his pupil Carl Czerny. Beethoven entrusted the arrangements to his pupil, and because Czerny knew his teacher inside out, he knew how to masterfully translate the symphonies from orchestra to four hands. Duo Pleyel specialised in the performance practice of Beethoven's time, among others. On this evening, the duo will perform Beethoven's magnificent 6th and 5th symphonies.
