Info for Mozart - Cramer - Onslow: Grande Sonate

Already in the first bars of Mozart's Grand Sonata in F major one senses that great piano music awaits the listener on this new GENUIN-Album with the pianists Romana Danhel-Kolb and Oliver Kolb – intimate and, at the same time, almost symphonic sounds of Mozart and Onslow, even a world premiere recording of Johann Baptist Cramer. Following the 'Slavonic Dances' so superlatively praised by the critics, the successful piano duo continues to fully explore the possibilities of the four-handed treatment of 88 keys in their second production by the Leipzig label as well. From Mozart's classical arcs to Onslow's romantic tempests: intellectually stimulating and poetic!

Piano Duo Danhel-Kolb

Piano-duo Danhel-Kolb
Prague-born Romana Danhel-Kolb and Oliver Kolb from Darmstadt both studied the piano at the Frankfurt am Main College of Music and the Darmstadt Academy of Music, getting to know each other while doing additional studies in the piano class of Prof. Grigory Gruzman. They have pursued their enthusiasm for performing together since 2005 and have specialized in playing music for four hands on a single piano. Reviewers have often remarked on the special qualities of their interaction and their piano tone, which is as balanced as chamber music: "The Danhel-Kolb Duo showed how wide-ranging duet playing can be... their playing was spirited, with a sense of tonal subtleties and a flair for the precise coordination of four hands.“

The Danhel-Kolb Piano Duo has performed in Germany, Switzerland, France and the Czech Republic. Their extensive repertoire includes works of all eras. They also take an interest in completely unknown works.

At their initiative, Schott Music Panton will in 2012 publish the premiere edition of the Variations sur le thème de Pergolesi by Ilja Hurník.
