Dances from the East
By di Luca Cossettini
Hailed by The New York Times as “one of the great four hands partnerships of our time”, Pavel Kolesnikov and Samson Tsoy have created a remarkable duo identity alongside their internationally acclaimed solo careers. Their exclusive albums for Harmonia Mundi have received a Diapason d’Or, Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, and have been named among The New York Times’ Best Classical Recordings of the Year. Gramophone wrote about their recording of the Rite of Spring: “I’d struggle to recommend any above this one.”
Their artistic vision has found expression on the world’s foremost concert stages, from Carnegie Hall and Wigmore Hall to the Edinburgh International Festival. Their collaborations with David Hockney, Richard Serra and Yohji Yamamoto, as well as joint projects for the Guggenheim Museum and Fondation Louis Vuitton are redefining the perception of classical music through innovative curation and artistic creation.
