Symphonic Dances for 2 Pianos

55 Norfolk Street, Sheffield, S1 1DA

Description

With their 2025 two-piano concert described as “piano playing at its most… visceral” (Bachtrack), Tim Horton and Ivana Gavrić return to the Crucible Playhouse for a concert of spellbinding and exhilarating music for two pianos. Rachmaninov’s own arrangement of his ‘Symphonic Dances’ takes centre stage, with its arresting rhythmic passages and virtuosic energy. Debussy’s ‘En blanc et noir’, by contrast, sees expressionist clouds of colour conjured from the two pianos, while Ravel’s poetic ‘La valse’ is best described by the composer himself: “Whirling clouds give glimpses, through rifts, of couples dancing. The clouds scatter, little by little. One sees an immense hall peopled with a twirling crowd. The scene is gradually illuminated. The light of the chandeliers bursts forth, fortissimo”.
