Even at this early stage in his career, however, Beethoven understood how to sidestep the genre’s pitfalls that make countless similar pieces more fun for players than listeners...Hill and his longstanding duet partner Benjamin Frith understand them, too. Whichever of them plays secondo...keeps the bass parts well defined and lightly articulated

The fifth [work] is the transcription Beethoven made reluctantly, yet with high intensity, of the Grosse Fuge. This new-fangled masterpiece leaps in track 22 like a tiger from the album leaves of Six Variations on “Ich denke Dein”, and affords the joy of discovering what, and how, art really matters.
In Tune
A fine recording of Beethoven's pieces for piano four hands from the well established duo of Peter Hill and Benjamin Frith … who find obvious delight in the relatively simple pleasures of those Waldstein Variations. An attractively intimate recording.
