Notes and Editorial Reviews
"Phenomenal artistry...Brimming with style and panache".
-
The Daily Telegraph (About live concert appearance.)
"So stylish are O Duo's performances, so kaleidoscopic the colours and so invigorating the rhythms, you feel that any of these composers would happily have scored their pieces for percussion if only there had been an ensemble of O Duo's calibre around to play them."
-
The Daily Telegraph (About original 2007 release of this album.)
"Percussionists O Duo perform classical works and modern pieces from Bach, Chopin, Poulenc, Miki and others. Interesting transcriptions!" -
