About
SOMM Recordings brings its major six-volume series of Franz Xaver Scharwenka’s transcriptions of Beethoven Symphonies to a close with his 9th Symphony, the monumental Choral Symphony. Since the first volume, listeners have eagerly awaited each new release in the series from duo pianists, Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman. As Ates Orga has noted in International Piano Magazine, “What in July 2021 began as something of a curio outing has blossomed into a major recording landmark”.

Through this medium, one hears many strands and voices not always noticeable, particularly true of the last movement...perhaps surprisingly, the finale is simply tremendous, a tour de force from both Scharwenka and the two pianists, whose intuitive ensemble and mutual accord can only be achieved by long acquaintance.
