On the "Manfred Bürki" Steinway concert grand piano, built in 1901 the highly praised Trenkner-Speidel Piano Duo presents Ludwig van Beethoven's Seventh Symphony arranged for piano four-hands by Xaver Schwarwenka, who must have been waiting for such a perfect instrument for its progressive and opulent piano texture. Moreover, this CD presents Beethoven's own arrangement of the Great Fugue. With boundless energy, Evelinde Trenkner and Sontraud Speidel celebrate an enthralling and stirring Beethoven festival. - MDG-Musikproduktion Dabringhaus und Grimm
