Those four words completely capture the essence of this amazing album of arrangements for two violins by David Brooker. It harks back to the days before sound recording when many people could only experience the major composers orchestral music in reductions for chamber ensembles; indeed, many composers made such arrangements themselves.\u003cbr\u003eThese arrangements will both entertain and challenge intermediate to advanced players but the technical problems are designed to be approachable and enjoyable rather than daunting. The contents cover a wide range of Russian romantic music from the 19th and 20th centuries, taking in the ultimate lyricism of Borodins Nocturne, through the fireworks of Khachaturians Sabre Dance to the musical athletics of Prokofievs Dance of the Knights, better known these days as the theme tune to The Apprentice.\u003cbr\u003eThe arrangements would be ideal pieces to open or close a violin lesson; even more so as an unexpected encore in an informal concert. Eleven full-length arrangements of well-known pieces make this album fantastic value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924323762461,"sku":"UE36749","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/UE36749.jpg?v=1782295538","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/classical-favourites-from-russia-2-violins-duet-universal-edition","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
