Piano duo Alessio Bax and Lucille Chung combine their keyboard powers in this program of Italian, French, and Argentine works for two pianos. From Federico Busoni’s delightful arrangement of a Mozart Piano Concerto to the cheeky two-piano concerto of Francis Poulenc to the stormy La Valse of Maurice Ravel, they offer no shortage of two-piano amusements. Plus, they perform Claude Debussy’s familiar Clair de Lune and original arrangements of sensual tangos by Astor Piazzola.
