Orford Six Pianos: Khatchatourian, Prokofiev, Tchaikovski &Moussorgski, Vol. 2

Six pianists. Sometimes soloists, often accompanists, always performers. This second recording by the Orford Six Pianos ensemble marks the 10th anniversary of a group whose name evokes the French 20th century composers known as quot;Les Sixquot;. quot;Anything rhythmic works well with this lineup - Russian music and symphonic pieces are perfect for pianos,quot; says ensemble member Mariane Patenaude. For this album, Olivier Godin, Francis Perron, and Louis Dominique Roy have transcribed works by Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, and Khachaturian, adapting them for piano sextet.
