Reviews

'Here's a husband-and-wife piano duo who make beautiful music together. In Stravinsky's duet reduction of Petrushka, Alessio Bax and Lucille Chung do not attempt to replicate orchestral dynamic levels. Instead they apply their effortless synchronicity to unlocking the music's pianistic potential, aiming for textural clarity and colouristic variety as they shape the catchy melodies with maximum lilt and characterful accentuation … superb annotations and engineering make the Bax & Chung Piano Duo debut CD all the more auspicious' (Gramophone)

'Winner of the 2000 Leeds Piano Competition, Alessio Bax, joins with his wife, Lucille Chung, in their award winning piano duo. Technically superb and perfectly balanced, they revel in the brilliant virtuosity of Piazzolla’s seductive tangos, and give loving performances of the Brahms waltzes. Equally enjoyable in Stravinsky’s four-hand version made for rehearsing the ballet, Petrouchka, but the work falls far short of the excitement generated in his Three Movements extracted for solo piano. The sound is a bit ‘pingy’ in the upper octaves' (Yorkshire Post)
