Vicky Yannoula & George-Emmanuel Lazaridis (piano duet)
Piano duo Vicky Yannoula & George-Emmanuel Lazaridis make their debut appearance on the Resonus Classics label with the first volume of a landmark series of Carl Czerny’s arrangements for four hands of the symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven.

A prolific and trusted arranger of many of Beethoven’s works, Czerny creates fascinating and faithful versions of these popular works that display the impressive virtuosic and orchestral range and capabilities of the instrument.

Yannoula & Lazaridis begin with two of Beethoven’s best-known works – the first and fifth symphonies.
