Music as ritual: On their debut GENUIN album, the internationally acclaimed piano duo Pisareva-Tchaidze presents three landmark works of early modernism. Stravinsky’s “Le Sacre du Printemps” - a piece that has stood at the heart of their repertoire for fifteen years - is set alongside Debussy’s “Épigraphes antiques” and Bartók’s “Two Pictures". Written within the same turbulent historical moment shortly before the First World War, these compositions reflect a time of profound cultural upheaval.

The album explores the interplay between them - their archaic energy, their rhythmic vitality, and their dialogue between past and present. The duo’s finely calibrated ensemble playing brings striking rhythmic precision and luminous clarity of sound to these works.
