About
No one wrote better for four hands at one piano than Schubert – not even Mozart. This recording contains a work with little or no competition - Variations in A flat major. Widely regarded as one of Britain’s leading piano duos, Piano 4 Hands are regular performers at London’s Wigmore Hall, South Bank Centre and Fairfield Halls.

A great new recording of some of Schubert's most inspired piano duets.
2nd August 2009
This disc is a feast. Mozart and Brahms wrote good four-hand music, but with Schubert it becomes virtually a new medium, of fabulous richness of texture — social music for the domestic market yet rising to transcendent heights.
