Identical twins Rachel and Vanessa Fuidge have all that it takes to become one of our very best piano duos – skill and personality. In 2005, as the tender age of 17, they made a CD for Dunelm which was well received though only distributed in a limited way; we have taken the best of the tracks from that album and added three major works recorded in the summer of 2009 to produce this new CD. The music was recorded in ‘single takes’ as for a live performance – no recourse to thousands of edits… and the programme which includes several jazz-inspired pieces is an absolute joy. A disc to brighten any day or mood!
