Werk: Variations for Two Pianos and Percussion, Op.32

Le duo pianistique des sœurs Önder et les percussions du Martin Grubinger Ensemble font palpiter la Fondation Vuitton dans un concert bouillonnant et débridé, dédié à la musique de Fazıl Say.

Martin Grubinger may be regarded as one of the world’s most exciting percussion virtuosi, but for my money his greatest strengths are pianistic: the rich density of timbre he gets from his instruments (which are mainly the marimba and xylophone), the gift for turning an eloquent phrase, and the seamless legato that comes from sensitive touch and a finely-tuned ear for decay.
